The recent events at LZ-1 on the Cape with the Crew Dragon got me to thinking. Would it be possible for future vehicles to have COPV’s enclosed in armored boxes to contain them if they were to let go? Or covering COPV’s with Kevlar? I know there’d be a mass penalty involved....but have there been studies done about this?Edit: This of course pre supposes that COPV’s were involved, which we don’t know about at all. But COPV’s were implicated in the Amos-6 explosion and there was some concern about COPV’s during the last part of the shuttle program
