In 2025, People Will Try Living in This Underwater Habitat

  A friend of mine has just broken the record of 100 days living under water. He is aiming for 120 days.

  Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his brow? ‘No!’ says the man in Washington, ‘It belongs to the poor.’ ‘No!’ says the man in the Vatican, ‘It belongs to God.’ ‘No!’ says the man in Moscow, ‘It belongs to everyone.’ I rejected those answers; instead, I chose something different. I chose the impossible. I chose… Rapture, a city where the artist would not fear the censor, where the scientist would not be bound by petty morality, Where the great would not be constrained by the small! And with the sweat of your brow, Rapture can become your city as well.

    I’m having mixed feelings. Are we going here or not? On one hand no censoring… On the other hand… No censoring. Also doom, but there’s also doom here too.

      the whole point of the game was to illustrate how dumb libertarians are

      I don’t remember being able to play Doom in BioShock… 🤔

    “Oxygen.”

  Because of its narcotic effect at high pressure, nitrogen shouldn’t be breathed by humans at depths below about 60 meters. So, at 200 meters, the breathing mix in the habitat will be 2 percent oxygen and 98 percent helium. But because of its very high thermal conductivity, “we need to heat helium to 31–32 °C to get a normal 21–22 °C internal temperature environment,” says Rick Goddard, director of engineering at Deep. “This creates a humid atmosphere, so porous materials become a breeding ground for mold”.

    So everyone is gonna sound like mice when they get crushed under the weight of the ocean?

      Hmm… maybe not? The low density of helium at 1 atm is what causes the amplification of higher frequencies in the voicebox, but in a pressurized container the gas would be higher density so it might offset the effect… I think?

      Sparks: … would you ever put your brain in a robot body?

      Murphy: Why? I like my body. Ha, I love my body.

  Very interesting to read, but sounds so astronomically expensive and reliant on zero mistakes in every single aspect of manufacturing every single thing going into the pods, that no one will sustain paying for this shit beyond angel investors.

    you should read michael chrichton’s book sphere. it talks about some of the tom & jerry tier physics and biology disasters that can happen in a deep sea habitat

      Yep I own a hardcover of it

    Many people said the same things about the ISS, I’m sure.

      Sure, but space habitats are far far more useful than underwater ones

      There is definitively no shortage of challenges in orbit

      What government is interested in this project. Please name one.

  Build them as connectable hexagons. Learn from the insects, they’ve had a half billion yearsto figure out what shit works and what shit don’t.
