Why is this on HN? This seems like a scam in a sense. Look at the “pressure hull” compared to the numerous openings cut into the outer hull for party decks or whatever, they don’t really connect and the interior space is made to look much bigger than it is. How are they going to constantly dewater the ship when there is water leaking in everywhere? What happens if someone forgets to close one of the 100 exterior openings?
