Guillermo Söhnleinm told Insider he has wanted to make humanity a multi-planet species since he was 11 years old, and that OceanGate was part of that ambition.
If a space station could be designed to withstand the sulfuric acid in the clouds...
If...IF...
I mean, sulfuric acid is no joke. It eats away clothing, metal; it heats up when it gets wet. The only way you can effectively neutralize it is with soda ash. You just don't design something that's going to survive that for the long-term, and have to send it through space as well. I wouldn't step one foot into anything this man's company makes after the Titan.
Last time I checked when I was a kid, pretty sure I remember Venus being one of the very last places humans would flourish in.
If his company is cutting corners dropping to the sea floor who is going to follow him to another planet?
There's a region of Venus that's not horrible. It's basically a band in the atmosphere where the ambient temperature and pressure is relatively Earth-like, so one can arguably be outside with just an oxygen mask.
Never mind that a long lasting floating habitat has not been built on Earth, much less thirty million miles away.
Until humanity is mature enough to stop exploiting, poisoing, and destroying everything in our path it seems best that we quarantine on Earth imo. There is so much possibility down here as soon as we stop trying to run away from home and we bloom where we're planted instead.
People who lead empty lives would like to think that they have become something special by attempting to do for themselves what everyone else considers difficult. Stop climate change.
He literally is quoted as saying that after the Titan implosion. In the article:
“Söhnlein said the Titan passengers’ deaths shouldn’t stop humans from continuing to investigate carbon fiber hulled submersibles as a way to reach the bottom of the ocean.”
