And in 2026, deep divers will be searching for datapads to find out what went wrong.
Maybe the pact holds longer in those silos 😆
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.
If your looking for me
You better check under the sea
Cause that is where you'll find me
Underneath the
Sealab, Underneath the water
Sealab, At the bottom of the sea.
About 4 years late, but whatever.
Why do I apparently have the entire theme song still in my brain meats? I only thought the show was ok during its original Adult Swim run, and it wasn't even a brain wormie theme. I apparently need to go back and watch it again to see what's up.
I am probably a minority, but I think it's the funniest of the early Adult Swim originals.
Billionaires first
Titan II: Back for more billionaires
Will it be filled to the brim with billionaires so it can also malfunction and we are on time for the annual billionaire sacrifice to the sea gods?
Researchers are rarely rich, despite deserving it more than others.
“I dub thee Sir Phobos, Knight of Mars, beater of ass.”
Man why did I have to go so far down to find this one? Lol
Mustache on or off?
Too bad

Chopper Dave!
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,”
😮
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?
If the original SeaLab tests in the 60s were any indication, YES. Check out Scott Carpenter’s voice on this recording with LBJ. https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x3wkh6s
Love the horribly confused operator trying to fix problems with her equipment before putting the call through to the president.
This is for the oil and gas industry.
Ain't nobody paying for an underwater habitat for researchers when all researchers do at depth is take photos and samples, which can be done by an ROV.
Oil and Gas OTOH need deep see divers to do welding and other maintenance all the time.
I've been playing lots of Oxygen not Included, so... Yeah good luck, what could go wrong?
Watch our oceans die before your very eyes!
One step closer to SOMA
high pressures are scary as shit.
apart from that, there's no sunlight down there. it's basically like living in antarctica.
Good thing that doesn't cause any pr-

Oh.
Subnautica vibes.
A friend of mine has just broken the record of 100 days living under water. He is aiming for 120 days.
Ocean horizons 2.0 I hope.
Elon is probably the only superhero who could actually go there an show them all! Definitely not just any rich guy could do it.
Ocean is tough. Tougher than floating cities. Which are more realistic as real habitable environment.
I vote for Stanford torus stations in various L points.
Or, naturally, Mars.
Before that, of course, there are plenty of locations on Earth hard to live in, but not as hard as underwater domes. They should try that.
What happened to biodomes? Did the Pauly Shore movie ruin the concept?
We never got them working properly here on earth, which isn't great news for a self sustainable moon or Mars colony.
Build them as connectable hexagons. Learn from the insects, they've had a half billion years to figure out what shit works and what shit don't.
Sure when in air. Not so much for underwater or really anywhere where they have to deal with a pressure differential, either positive or negative, where large flat sides are detrimental.
i legit thought this was some wacky futurist article from 10 years ago that someone posted for fun
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
