    I mean, to be fair, I’d like to know more about the volume lost here.

    For example people often struggle to imagine that the sun is losing 4.7 million tons every second. Or that ships constantly take on water they have to pump out. This is part of normal operation, and while the helium leaks here clearly are not, if built with a degree of redundancy in mind, certain loss rates are entirely acceptable.

    Or not.

    Depends on the volume involved. 😅
