I would say certainly the second trip was safer than the first, as the first trip ruled out lots of non carbon fibre related failures (e.g. the porthole)
- tlavoie 3y agoI'm not so sure about that, pics of the wreckage being offloaded onshore show that dome being moved with a sling through the hole where the porthole should be. I don't think they would have removed that just to move it, especially before analyzing the debris.
- dragonwriter 3y agoThe force of the implosion, as I understand it, would destroy the porthole in any case; it being not attached is not an indicator that it was the point of initial failure.
