Just make it out of carbon fiber. That's what they did with that uncrushable submersible that went to the Titanic.

- UncleEntity 11mo agoI'm pretty sure the issue was with 'move fast and break things' and not using carbon fiber. I think it was on the youtubes I was watching a story about how they built that thing and it was <spoiler alert> not really fit for purpose. I mean, no big surprise in hindsight.
- jjmarr 11mo agoCarbon fibre has poor compressive strength and good tensile strength. That makes it inherently bad at holding pressure from outside in a submarine and good at holding pressure inside a spaceship or airplane.
- IAmBroom 11mo agoDesigned, paid for, and piloted by a complete jackass, but... He never claimed it was uncrushable. He claimed it was safe. Still completely wrong about that, obv.
