Re: "I didn't agree with it when I was writing it"

I don't know what information it would send but depending on the user's viewpoint, simply seeing that could cause concern. If there are details of what is captured, I would like to know too.

I'd like to know too.

Titanium is 56% as dense as steel, while retaining a similar stiffness-to-weight ratio. Titanium has a high elongation number, between 20 to 30%, while typical steels are up to 15%. The lower the number the more brittle. I am wondering if the gravitational differences it might experience could have required a less brittle material. I'd love to know if this guess gets anywhere near the truth.
