"skippy" was flying along in a T-19 near the operational vertical limit (service ceiling) and got distracted. He unknowningly continued to climb and suddely, without warning, the pressure vessel popped. His death was surely painless. Many of our technologies and most of our regulations stemmed from disasters like these. We initially reported some deficiencies in this area of cabin pressure and pressure regulation and CAS messaging back in 2020 but hadn't sat down to fully flesh out the implications of operating on the surface at 2.5+ bar and going to orbit and back while maintaining passenger comfort. Ultimately we decided on some pretty substantial engineering to allow 2+ bar pressure differentials. The orbiting space stations are at 1 bar. Ground dwellers who venture out of their habitats would experience high Nitrogen levels at 2.5 bar. We imagine they wouldn't build the structures to...
