There are actual images of a seal with headphones strapped to its head online!
- ceejayoz 2y agoThat doesn't mean said image matches the story told. https://x.com/mcrs987/status/1848070131781455911 https://x.com/mcrs987/status/1848070131781455911 asserts it was actually a study for the Delta IV booster, not something SpaceX had to do.
- cooper_ganglia 2y agoYes, I'm aware of that. My point was that SpaceX has said they've had to do this, and if it sounds so wacky that that's unbelievable, there are actually photos of the same thing happening with seals, so I feel very little need to doubt that SpaceX was held to the same standard if that's what they claim. Not a "citation" as much as anecdotal evidence that dispels doubt.
