Oh, I guess I just did.... New SpaceX motto: "Space is hard. Pressurized gasses are harder!"

I thought Helium was a city full of naked women on Mars.
I guess the helium leak being in the stage separation h/w is less embarrassing than it being in the leg plumbing.

Some jokers at the pad bled some helium off in order to speak with funny voices?

You mean you can't appreciate the usefulness of some large mechanical legs folded up along the sides of the "transformable" MCT during Mars entry and descent, only to open up before landing for a variety of useful purposes after landing?
