Reviewing this video again, and I don't see a mechanism to eject the landing platform legs. It looks to be securely bolted to the same frame extending to the back clamshell that holds all of the equipment/power? It certainly wouldn't be the first time Rush lied about the sub.
Also, man.... I can't believe a single o-ring on the end of the titanium caps is what they wanted to hold back that much pressure. That's nuts to me. I designed equipment for 5000 psi that looks to have thicker o-rings with backing to prevent extrusion.
