Humans know more about space than we do about the ocean.

Humans know more about space than we do about the ocean.

Agreed. I always wondered what it'd be like if we colonized our oceans instead of, say, the Moon or Mars. Easier/harder? Definitely different challenges.

Both require figuring out how to deal with pressure and air supply.

Space is still harder.

Space is sexier. That's why NASA gets all the money and glory while the oceans get, uh, him:

Interesting facts: Even though the ISS has been manned for 11 years consecutively, none of the Sealabs even made it past 2 months.

Nature is cool.

Side-note:

This reminds me of that undersea ride thingy they use to have at the Royal BC Museum in Victoria.

You would get in that elevator and travel to the sea floor and see all those weird fish that live down there. Use to scare the shit out of me as a kid!

Anyone else remember that?

When they reno'd the museum, they took it out...probably 6-8 years ago? It was old and a little hokey but I would cry the whole time in the elevator....

That's sweet! I think it was in The Blue Planet: Seas of Life where they went down as deep as they possible can and found so many cool new species of underwater life. Cool fish that kind of glow in the dark and stuff. I'm not sure if this was suppose to be staged as it looked kind of fake comparing to the other video footage but it was still pretty neat.
Nature is truly awesome.

Ohh I loved that place, I think I have some cards bought at the gift shop which have all different types of strange sea creatures on them with some info on each one.

Nice picture, but poor math. Unless I'm missing something really obvious, hydrostatic pressure of sea water is about .45 PSI per foot depth, making the figures completely out of whack.

We don't know if there's monsters in Space, there's definitely monsters in the ocean :fuckthatshit:

On a serious note, im sure there are, we havent begun to discover a fraction of space...

we call these little guys monsters.. i wonder what they will call us? a stick figure that holds itself up with 2 more thinner stick?

[ShadowBun]

they call us sticky greedy

Billionaires, and other people with too much money to spend, should invest into researching this kind of stuff. Sometimes, Googling just doesn't cut it, and you need to just find out yourself. That could happen, if you have more money than you know what to do with. With all that dough, Warren Buffet should be drilling to the center of the frickin' Earth!

The bloop was this low frq sound picked up in 1997 by several sonar sensors. Some believe its from a massively enormous animal deep in the ocean.

Nice picture, but poor math. Unless I'm missing something really obvious, hydrostatic pressure of sea water is about .45 PSI per foot depth, making the figures completely out of whack.

I don't think the person who did that picture were doing the math, I think they were just using some numbers they knew and put them in the wrong places.

By the math, the pressure *at the bottom* would be 16,200psi ("The Pressure at the deepest part of the Mariana Trench is over 8 tons per square inch." - The Mariana Trench - Oceanography (http://www.marianatrench.com/mariana_trench-oceanography.htm))

Either way, you're turned into a blob of pancake batter LONG before you get that deep, so it really doesn't matter...

"Compared to the Styrofoam cup on the left that stayed topside, the cup sent into the ocean depths collapsed under the pressure to about a quarter of its original size. The gummy bears didn't compress nearly as much, but look worse for the wear.

^ Just shows the guys who went down to the bottom have some serious balls.

I remember seeing a show on the Trieste and other deep sea exploration where an unmanned test sphere was lowered by cable. It developed a leak (which they had no way of knowing) and when it reached the surface it was leaking water from the same crack. The sphere was pressurized and a worker went to open the sphere and barely missed getting killed when the hatch popped open expelling the water at extreme velocity.

Now imagine hearing about this "test" and knowing you're going down in a similar sphere, but even deeper.

[StaxBundlez]

I find the space so majestic and beautiful, peaceful and calming..

for some reason i don't feel the same way about the bottom of the ocean.. something about it is just.... :heckno:

Oprah did an episode on it and Dr. Phil is trying to get him to admit he's a monster, and get himself better.

Do they have any balls left when they returned?
