Why do you want to into space? Isn't your eventual goal for man to explore another planet inhabited with exotic lifeforms, lots of natural resources, a new frontier?

All of that exists in the ocean. The ocean floor is a landmass larger than every continent put together. Perhaps 3% of it is explored, it is teeming with undiscovered exotic lifeforms, and it contains tremendous deposits of precious metals and plentiful edible biomass.

It is an alien planet, a new frontier right on your doorstep just waiting to be settled. But you have no interest in exploring or settling it because you don't need a rocket to get there. Think about how ridiculous that is.

Well to give him the benefit of the doubt I was comparing the ocean to a hypothetical exoplanet very similar to Earth, with lots of native flora and fauna. But yes, a more plausible summation of the decision he faces can be seen in the picture.

I'm all for colonization of the ocean and sea exploration, but it's just not totally an alien environment too us. You're lucky if you come across anything exotic down there every now and then. It's like copypasta'd landscape for miles and the occasional huge trench with odd fish and plants. Basically all the big interesting things have been found, you don't even need to go underwater to find them.

>> No.3584293

>>3584281
not sure if trolling

We don't even know what's at the bottom.
As for miles of landscape, the Ocean is over 3/4 the planet and we still haven't discovered every single creature on land. Like the other anon said, we have only explored 3% of the ocean. Everything else is a mystery.

Where did you hear this? Actually new species are found on literally every expedition.

Seriously, who told you this? It's complete bullshit. Do you read any actual oceanographic publications? New species are being discovered all the fucking time. Pic related, one of about 200 new species discovered during the marine life census, which expanded the amount of surveyed seafloor from 1% to 3% over a decade.

No, we're able to get excited over the discovery of new life even without the novelty of it being independently evolved. We're able to appreciate the potential of a new frontier even without the cool factor of needing a nuclear powered generational vessel to get there. Ridiculous would be if we couldn't be bothered to care about newly discovered life unless it's ALIUMS or if we were totally apathetic about colonizing a resource rich frontier with cutting edge technology because it's not on a different planet. Ridiculous is preferring a frigid, radiation blasted desert to a vast, radiant blue oxygen rich landscape teeming with life and laden with precious metals because you need the novelty factor of space in order to give a shit.
