     ahh yes unplanned environmental testing. this thing was stored, uncovered, outdoors, near the ocean, for 6 months! unbelievable.

     more unplanned shock testing. the thing was pointing straight up with everyone in the sub up against the back wall, then it kept slamming into the launch platform for an hour. that must have been miserable.

     looks like the prototype hull failed. i can't really see the crack the report discusses but it looks like some sort of spalling or layer separation.

     omg they reused the titanium domes and rings from the prototype!? also they covered the outside of the hull so there was no way to visually inspect it.

     final hull testing was done to a safety factor of uhhhhhhhhhhh 1.09. that's more of a danger factor.
