Hey thank you for this link, absolutely fascinating. Fascinating for how predictable it was. Main quote: > While classing agencies are willing to pursue the certification of new and innovative designs and ideas, they often have a multi-year approval cycle due to a lack of pre-existing standards, especially, for example, in the case of many of OceanGate’s innovations, such as carbon fiber pressure vessels and a real-time (RTM) hull health monitoring system. Bringing an outside entity up to speed on every innovation before it is put into real-world testing is anathema to rapid innovation. In other words, they're say "we're so far ahead of them that educating them would slow us down". That sounds great, until youre dead.
