This is what happens when you take the move fast and break things culture to anything where people die when things break. Really just sad and so stupid.

- IceHegel 3y agoIt’s sad of course, but the early days of flight were also quite dangerous but they lead to rapid innovation and the stable industry of today. It’s a tragedy, but high risk activities are by definition going to have a few.
- CryptoBanker 3y agoUnfortunately with flights you can usually at least take a good guess at what went wrong. I think we’ll be lucky if they find (and retrieve) wreckage in this case

And if you tried to take paid passengers on a homebuilt uncertified aircraft today you would go to jail. This isn't the early days. The challenger deep was reached over 60 years ago. We've been building submarines longer than airplanes. We know how to do this stuff safely. This was negligence.

- TaylorAlexander 3y agoSure but at that time no one knew how to fly. Today we absolutely know how to build and test decent submersibles and there’s really no excuse for building a machine as untested as this one.
- tjmc 3y agoThere's calculated risk and reckless risk. Sounds like this was the latter unfortunately.
- class3shock 3y agoBut risk can be mitigated with proper engineering, testing, and manufacturing process control. These are all quite well understood just seemingly not well implemented by this company.
- ekianjo 3y ago> This is what happens when you take the move fast and break things culture Or then you take things slow and you end up like NASA who has not launched any new rocket in years. Is that better?
- liamwire 3y agoIn regards to human life, unambiguously yes.
- ekianjo 3y agoThe nasa is also supposed to actually launch stuff you know
- autoexecdotbat 3y agoI think there's a happy medium, and civilian tourism probably isn't really the place to be pushing the safety envelope. Science, discovery, boldly going where no one has gone before? Absolutely safety is going to be somewhat compromised. Taking rich people to the gawk at the Titanic? I, personally, think you're a bit of dick for MacGyvering a vessel together and calling it good enough.
- ChristianGeek 3y agoThey haven’t killed anyone in years, either.
- ekianjo 3y agoZero output guarantees that
- neuronerdgirl 3y ago... yes?
- ekianjo 3y agoYou cant have space exploration without people dying.
