There are a lot of reasons for having a stationary lab under sea - I have seen a lot of experiments for acceleration of coral growth, bringing corals back to life etc that need long term study and sustained help. However, I am a bit confused as to why this project needs an expensive building as opposed to something like a submarine shell with living quarters (and a moon pool, of course).
- dheera 6y agoBetter quality of life? I've seen those submarine tours on Youtube and they look cool initially but I could imagine it could get old pretty quickly eating freeze-dried rations and living in such a small space with no homey human elements to its design. Even the Antarctic bases have mini-libraries, and ping pong tables and whatnot that look like they would be much nicer to spend an extended period of time. Humans weren't meant to be cooped up in a vessel. In space we don't really have the tech to build something bigger but I imagine in the ocean we could do it if we wanted to.
