I always smile to myself when I think about Rush. Killed by his old own hubris. The billionaire state of mind "I'm rich, therefore I'm right". Move fast and break stuff, huh buddy?

Well, one thought is that when he heard the shoddily constructed carbon fiber and titanium composite pressure hull collapsing, ALMOST CERTAINLY one of his last thoughts were "oops". It would take some CRAZY delusion if that didn't happen.
