All the space exploring billionaires and their supporters claim Mars is our only hope for survival but wouldnt it make more sense to spend all that money trying to build floating or even underwater cities

This seems to be the most logical solution to rising sea levels. I get that there would be a lot of complications to this but I cant imagine it being more complex than trying to build and transport to Mars. The oceans are right next to us and it would be so much easier to study them than it is to learn about Mars. Not to mention that would create so much more space on Earth since they make up like 75% of the surface.

Can anyone explain why this wouldnt work or would be worse than trying to live on Mars?

Dummie

cant breathe

U cant breathe on mars either

sandy found a way and she's a squirrel

shes from texas

no man made structure can handle the underwater pressure for more than 5-10 decades and if it does its not sanitary enough to live in

The surface of water makes more sense than underwater but even then there's a lot of complications surrounding pressures and the inhabited environment that's mostly unknown and unpredictable. Way more harm than good would come out of it I think. We'd probably disturb and destroy a lot of life.

Also the advancement for space exploration should be to eventually expand our reach rather than remain on a world we're going to continuously f*** up.

we have f***ed nature enough

no need to expand our greediness everywhere

okay this bioshock

best game ever

What about like really large submarines that have cities inside of them but can come up to the surface occasionally for repair

Yea the ocean is still mostly undiscovered.. I think we should get on that

Why go to a different planet without making the most out of this one first you know

you answered your own question

all these submarines that come for repair are at some point withdrawn due to the damage they sustain on the deep sea level

Water pressure

Eradication of marine life

No exposure to the sun

Aren't we predicted to run out of essentials to keep things running?

I think looking to space is just an option right now, but one day we'll need to begin to search for an answer that'll most likely be on another planet.

Also oceans will probably breed huge issues and endanger people. Weather can be unforgivable. It's just way too much to gamble on imo.

Does it mean i get to have scales and a flipper

cthulhu

nah F*** that

the sea is scarier than space imo cause of how close it is

like imagine the terror of knowing godzilla-like creatures exist 1 million miles underwater

governments would try to get involved and drop nukes for ''self-preservetation of the human race''

s*** would be a total s***storm

rich people already got underground bunkers with 100s of years of food and sustainable technology. Everyone else though....
