It wasn't a "tin can." it was made out of carbon fiber composite. That's probably a major contributor to the catastrophic loss.
Yup. Carbon fiber is an extremely strong material. Until it isn’t. From strong to failure happens in the blink of an eye.
“it was made out of carbon fiber composite”
That’s what I don’t get. Wouldn’t carbon fiber composite be better suited for keeping something CONTAINED under pressure so that the carbon fiber would be under tension? Not the other way around?
