What forms of analysis did you perform on the arm?

Fellow design engineer here! :D

While you're there, I recommend asking what forms of analysis they recommend performing on the arm.

I've never worked on something with as much human interface as a limb, as I work design for the Space Launch System. But I would think you might want to perform FEA, or Finite Element Analysis, to see what kind of stresses/deflections the arm would see under various loads. Nastran and Patran are good if they've got it at the University, and you can get it.

Glad to see someone picking up new skills and trying engineering on their own! :)

Super unfamiliar with ocean exploration, but a big advocate of space exploration.

Do you see any parallels between the two?

Are there any emerging dive providers (like SpaceX, Blue Origin for space)?

Are there any government exploits for exploration? (Like NASA for space)

Are there underwater colonies? If not, do you expect we'll see some within the coming decades?

Thanks for the AMA!

Was the officers reaction after the shots discussed at all? He appeared to not keep his composure through the events.

Present?

Am I the only one who thinks this is a bit of a weird answer? Couldn't it have just been phrased as "We have xx on payroll at the moment"? That way it gives a definite number to the number of employees currently.

It also doesn't answer the original question of 'how many full time staff' PL has.
