It's important to remember that the pressures involved are very different. The ISS pressure vessels only have to hold 1atm in, and not several atmospheres out.

- bebop 2y agoTo reinforce this point, it is around 375 atmospheres at the titanic. The deep sea is a crazy place.
- jcranmer 2y agoEqually important is that the ISS is under tensile load (the cylinder is trying to explode), while a submersible is under compressive load (the cylinder is trying to implode).
- rbanffy 2y agoIt's just 1 atm. You can't even say it's trying seriously.
