Herpes Virus Reactivation in Astronauts During Spaceflight

I'd imagine this whole "being strapped to a ton of explosives and using them to fly" moment is a tad bit more extreme and stressful than a submarine dive.

After that, they both have similar constant stress factors, but imho the launch alone is probably way more than what anybody on a submarine would go through.

The crew quarters are literally between the missile launch tubes, which sure they aren’t exploding under you, but still.

Nuclear submarines?

I suspect that far more rockets have undergone rapid, unplanned disassembly than nuclear submarines. And when they do, the death rate is very high.
