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.
Yeah, not sure if “floating colony” means orbital but if he means somehow in atmosphere those people are gonna have a bad time with the 900F degree temps and the 100 atmospheres of pressure
The article says that the proposed colony will be floating in the atmosphere 30 miles up, where temperature and pressure is a lot less.
But the guy still thinks carbon fibre pressure vessels are a good idea. Yikes.
in theory something like a zeppelin could be a good base for science but lets send a robotic balloon first before we send humans.
Oh, oh! Could we use hydrogen for the buoyancy part? I’m certain nothing would go wrong!
