Yes, but thats just it the 1 year lead time claim is bullshit, i can order custom ones here in the uk in any metal in just a matter of weeks, there a spun formed item, all done under cnc and from nothing more than a simple flat disc. Titanium is not that hard to work! I know for a fact theres a lot of titanium ones in use in the medical and chemical industries at significant pressures too. If this had some kinda lattice like lightening machined into that would be different, but there pics just show a domed tank end, to claim 1 years lead time on a readily available part just shows how inefficient there engineers are with design and there suppliers are with delivery. If space flights ever going to get cheaper, making every part totally custom is not the way to get there.
Then again its loc head martin a NASA pet supplier who seams to get all kinds of special backing and free passes unlike some of the commercial space industry startups. Its like the amount of testing being put on space x compared to there "pet" competitor who seams to have to do none of the in-flight abort testing and constantly justify themselves let alone look at value for money.
