    You just know he’s going to have some hilariously ironic death like the Segway scooter guy. It’s like learning about the guy who claimed God couldn’t sink the Titanic and deciding, “I’m going to do that! Every day!”

      Oxygen is so bad for you, too. It literally damages cells. I don’t mean this ironically or anything else. It is physically bad for you to breathe pure oxygen.

        Oxygen is corrosive as fuck. That’s why people are so obsessed with anti-oxidants. It’s important to cellular respiration because it is do damn volatile, but our bodies have to do a lot to keep it contained and safe.

      Hyberbaric chambers have a tendency to explode.

      There was one in the news the other day that tragically exploded with a small child inside.

      Wasn’t Apollo I destroyed when a spark caused an explosion on the launchpad due to pressurising the cabin with pure oxygen?

        No, it was because of shoddy wiring causing a fire inside the capsule in an area that couldn’t be accessed easily from the inside or extinguished from the outside. The egress sequence was also very time consuming (somewhere like 90 seconds). Apollo I also was just a training module, it never got launched.

        Maybe, but that’s neither here nor there. We can’t draw that correlation to effects of oxygen on the body via respiration.
