About

Scott Manley is someone who fell into YouTube because he felt a deep compelling need to teach people orbital mechanics and rocket science so they could play Kerbal Space Program, now, years later the gaming videos are less important and the pure science is the main thrust. My degrees are all in Physics and Astronomy, so much of the rocket science and engineering I've learned is self taught, always learning, always teaching. I used to do this as a hobby, along with my day job in software development, but that recently came to an end and I'm really appreciating everyone who has chosen to support my work through Patreon.

Video Description

The US National Transportation Safety Board issued their final report on the implosion of the Titan Submersible in 2023, it's available here with a lot of supporting documents, some more interesting that others. https://data.ntsb.gov/Docket/?NTSBNumber=DCA23FM036 This follows on from the Coast Guard report issued in August. https://www.news.uscg.mil/News-by-Region/Headquarters/Titan-Submersible/ The things I find most interesting are their discussion of data forensics, trying to recover data from cameras and computers that were found in the wreckage.
