    Sometimes I want to live like a fishy. A fishy man. Fishy man under the water. Club club, fish. Houses. House underwater fish. Sometimes I wish I were fish.
    Man is like fish.
    Air is like sea.
    Above the sea.
    Under the sea.
    Me.
    In the future I think people won’t live in underwater cities, but I figure I might as well cover the history of the predictions where people thought we might.
    Let us laugh at their misguided ideals of what would never be.
    Haha he he.

The same goes for Antarctica, the Sahara desert and the rest of the planet.
      Even ignoring the difficulty of travelling to Mars, it has poison air and soil, too low gravity and air pressure, not to mention deadly radiation which would require living underground. Also it has no readily-available sources of food, air and water which are abundant on earth.

      Stop being an idiot. Yes, the area known today as the Sahara did in fact once contain areas of habitable land due to the climate there being much wetter, ancient peoples lived there, some of whom eventually went on to give birth to the Ancient Egyptians, there were vast lakes and rivers, grasslands etc. I believe that came to an end around 12k years ago or thereabouts due to localised climate change (it dried up and because inhospitable desert) The 'Eye of the Sahara' was not Atlantis, it's just a geologic structure well understood by science and people who can read.

    for anyone who ever wanted to see a pretty good movie about what it was like to be a researcher or scientist aboard one of those old timey vessels, Master and Commander (2003) is a really great, fun period film with a solid cast and good story.
    If you want something more darker and nihilistic, well, there's a 2021 mini series called The North Water. Similar themes, much slower and violent. Take your pick.

    The relative lack of deep sea development bothers me in the same way as not attempting to terraform Greenland or Antarctica. Any of the problems you’d have doing that are still less than adding in traveling to the Moon or even more ridiculously Mars. And it seems like they would be a great trial run for creating colonies throughout the solar system. It seems like because they aren’t as exciting options, that none of the elite billionaires give much of a crap because it doesn’t generate headlines (which is ultimately all I think the settling Mars business will be, for at least a century and maybe forever!)

      Yeah honestly space is kind of pointless went you think of it beyond the sun and moon. Like if we made it to Mars, what does that actually mean for anyone living on earth. The moon effects tidal waves and sun gives light and heat, but mars is practically just a red dot that we can see in the sky sometimes.
      The ocean has millions of lifeforms we are still discovering, yet everyone wants to live on space hotel in mars. An underwater hotel is a much interesting idea to me, then living on a cold red rock.

    • @05Matz
      @05Matz 5 місяців тому

      I think there's some understandable worries about, you know, breaking our 'living on' planet (that is, worse than we already have with regular greed) by experimenting with geoengineering stuff @@rowanlau1651 , as well as the geopolitical issues where everything screws _somebody_ over in the process of making things better for others and our general inability to behave like adults and equitably distribute resources/compensate those harmed, but I agree that trying to jump straight to permanent habitation on other bodies (aside from enclosed habitats on Luna and/or an Earth-captured asteroid, as a shipyard/mining base primarily) is... premature. We need to learn to make and maintain artificial environments to our standards in rotating space habitats AND learn the basics of terraforming/environmental engineering-and-management fixing the problems we've already caused (global warming most notably) before making any of the planets even remotely livable is on the table. And once we've managed both keeping Earth in good shape and can build cylinder habitats to live in comfortably anywhere we go, why do we even need the other planet surfaces?
      Notably, the best terraforming candidate in our solar system is _Venus,_ and Venus is a terrible nightmare! It's just that, if you were to eclipse it from the sun, wait enough centuries for the atmosphere to freeze, then dig it up and remove it (or somehow otherwise get rid of most of it, selectively keeping the fraction we want) before adjusting the eclipsing to give it the appropriate lighting, it could be made fairly Earthlike. Mars is less hellish currently, but not really as easily... fixable? Minimal atmosphere and low-ish gravity (the best we're going to get around here other than Venus, unfortunately) mean it'll never be much more than an unbreathable, radiation-blasted tundra/desert without not only vast investment and constant maintenance in the atmosphere but an artificial magnetosphere satellite network, and we'd still need to be sure Mars gravity is enough for the long haul (So far all we know is that humans need SOME amount of real or simulated gravity for long-term health, but not how much is enough. Is Luna enough? Mars? We don't know!).

      I'm pretty sure you're getting you're getting your wish for Antartica and Greenland. Theres already looking to be a huge mining rush on greenland as more and more of its permafrost melts. Just gotta keep on raising that global thermostat for a few more decades lol.
      Anyways, the reason why there's been no serious push into deep sea infrastructure is because it's waaaaaayyyyy more difficult to live down there than in a vacuum. The deep ocean is just basicslly as bad as Mars when it comes to habitability barring radiation exposure. There's no air to breathe, extremely little food (deep sea life is extremely spread out, most of the ocean floor is vacant desert), no potable water (desalinating while being under the sea is actually extremely fucking hard to do safely and efficiently), has no sunlight and is extremely cold, and to top it off the immense water pressure makes designing long term structures next to impossible.
      While of course you don't have to shoot things millions of miles across space to send resources for an underwater colony, there's just no point to trying to live down there beyond the gimmick of doing so. Even deep sea mining is easier to do with from the surface, making mining colonies on the ocean floor pointless.

    As someone who spent some time doing things like replanting coral reefs or monitoring damage. I think living in areas near the coast, but only 40 or so feet deep is not only feesible, but would be fairly easy to built. The issue is long term mantinence and our own waste. Human waste is extremely toxic to sea life and sewage pollution has brought giant reefs to near extinction in only a few decades, and it takes just as long if not much longer to undo that damage.
    That said, i think its perhaps a bit more forgiving than extraplanetary living. Itd also be a cool experiment for modern aquaculture: can we farm the ocean the same way we farmed the land?

    I'd like to see an experiment using nuclear energy for a project like this. You can power a desalination plant, create oxygen like they do in nuclear subs. The more i learn about our power grid, the more i realize that modern nuclear energy options are our best option. Small form reactors, LFTRs, Thorium Reactors, liquid reactors. Utilizing our advanced technology, Improved engineering & material science. Utilizing our greater understanding of safety & well made designs. We have so much more advanced computer technology & robotics that can be used. It feels like even tho tons of advancement has occurred with engineering designs, safety measures, etc. It still doesn't matter to most people. It's like most people are ingrained with a natural negative response when talking about nuclear energy. It's a bummer because i truly believe that our best option for our future is to start utilizing Modern advanced nuclear energy options in our electrical grid. It's just proving to be challenging to get politicians to get on board.
    It will really allow places to be much more energy independent. Less reliant on fossil fuels. They'll have efficient, stable electrical grids and the rest of the grid could experiment with alternative power sources, etc.
    We need to heal from the trauma of our past. See & learn that those things only happened solely from Us not understanding what we were doing when it came to nuclear energy at the time. We didn't have advanced enough technology, material science, engineering, safety measures, understanding of how to go about everything, etc. This source of energy will greatly help the world improve towards the future and lowering emissions. More than anything else could, while also providing a very stable electrical grid system. Currently we have alternative energy options but the majority of our grid is powered off of fossil fuels and emission producing sources of energy. We will be so much better going forward commiting to modern advanced nuclear energy options.
