It was so disturbing to me watching them apply that adhesive.

I am by no means an engineer, but have been in construction my whole life.

2 different materials being joined by an adhesive. Rolled on, like you said, "the shelf toy rocket".

These materials expand and contract at different rates.

At that point, the integrity of the hull is 100% dependent upon glue?

Are you friggin kidding me?

They needed thermal, material, structural engineers signing off on this.

Hell, probably even more engineers.

Going down 2.5 miles in water is like taking a trip to the moon.

I am baffled by this. Had i designed a roof that collapsed and people died, because i did not properly think of load bearing?

I would be in jail.

And i am not an engineer, but definitely smart enough to consult calculations smart engineers have already done.
