When steel helmets were first introduced in WW1, the number of head wounds skyrocketed, which seems strange at first thought, then you quickly realize the obvious reason.

Not true. A mole of water weighs 18 grams, a volume of 18 ml of water. A tablespoon contains 15 mL for reference. 

A liter of water contains 55 moles of water, or 3.3x10^25 molecules of water 

I stand corrected. I was getting my equivalencies confused. (It's been a long time since my last chemistry class!) 

I remember that 1,000ml is the same as 1,000cc, metric measurement all adds up neatly, and that water is one of the "standard bearers" for measurement, so I must have conflated two different things. 1g = 1ml and all. 
Now that I'm looking it up, I see I was incorrect about my recollection of molar volume of a gas at STP, also. Man, I need to get back to the books!

Pretty sure you got that flipped around Chance. I dont know many plumbers that can weld/cut/fit steel. At least in my area. Steamfitters and plumbers are split locals here.

Pretty much what the statement said.

Concorde was designed and built with a pencil. 

The only way to know if it would work, is to build it and see.

So they did.

And it did. 

Now , it would fail the 'margin of safety' tests in the design phase long before it ever existed. 

So as we know it, it would not exist.
