We need more ocean research.
As a species we are pretty adaptable. We have been able to live all over land from deserts to forests, on mountains and plains.
We've even survived in space.
I want to know, where are all the under water research stations and dwellings? Surely technology can provide a sustainable habitat under water.
I honestly think we know more about outer space than what's in the oceans.

It's possible. There's no real reason to, except for the novelty.

The ocean is prohibitively more dangerous than space

8 RepliesDeep-sea exploration is expensive, difficult and exceedingly dangerous. Why should anyone go, let alone scientist fragile lives?

Ocean scary yo.

1 ReplyEdited by Commander Tempu: 11/27/2016 4:07:23 AMI found some episodes of SeaQuest on Netflicks. Watch that if you really want to see what it might be like. Nice idea just like living in space but lets be real. No one wants to live near nuke waste that the Russians dumped into the sea. It is not feasible for us to do under the current economy.

2 RepliesWater pressure makes it extremely difficult to build a structure. You need some way to provide oxygen and remove carbon. Plants you say? Well. Plants can only do so much, not to mention, to keep them alive you need sunlight, good soil, and more. You'd also have to take into account, where the hell are you gonna put it. Natural disasters such as Earthquakes could probably kill everyone. Which also brings up constant maintenance, if one thing seems even slightly wrong, it needs fixed immediately. Lots of people would love to live in a city like Rapture (before the splicers and madness with Adam). It's just, kind of...extremely....impossible right now. [spoiler]unless you ask Andrew Ryan who would say otherwise.[/spoiler]

4 RepliesObviously the pressures and our organic composition are at odds with each other. Another serious issue is what materials to use to build a sustainable habitat. Due to salt water, steel is out. Stainless and aluminum aren't really rigid without excessive mass, and cost. More over, we need sunlight. We aren't meant to be absent from it, nor is the bulk of our food resources. The whole endeavor, like living on Mars, is just economically and logistically unwarranted. We just need to do a better job of managing what we have out here on land.

4 RepliesI always wanted to explore the ocean depths. The last large animals on earth are down there, such as giant squids and whales. It would be quite interesting to discover a new largest animal.

Probably better in the long run to focus on colonizing the moon, Mars, and beyond. Plus, the depths of the ocean are the only places left undisturbed by humans, I personally don't want to see it wasted.

Well construction underwater on a large scale would require too much effort and resources to to warrant the positives (like being able to do much needed research on 70% of Earth)

I can't remember where but I seem to remember reading that we've mapped the entire surface of our moon but only I think it was 30% of our ocean.
