>Nothing compared to the pressure of the challenger deep.
Pressure is not the same as vibration.

>Inert metal shielding, whoop de fuck.
When there is a weight limit this doesn't work. Electronics do have to be specially space hardened. This is just ignorant.

>It doesn't actually have any defense against this.
It does, the outer skin of spacesuits and spacecraft is to shield from impacts. It cannot sustain a large impact but it's complete bull to say it cannot take anything, there is a vast range of relative velocities possible in orbit. See shuttle window impact.

>Nothing compared to a nuclear submarine's endurance.
Comparing apples to potatoes. A sub has access to water, from which it can make coolant and air as well as use it for consumption and propulsion.

>So it's good at falling.
>I'll ignore this because I can't compare it to pressure again.

>"Advanced parachute technology"
It is actually, supersonic parachutes for spacecraft are very sophisticated.

And you accuse other people of uninformed arrogance.
