***Scientists of Sherdog - explain why Space prioritized over Ocean Exploration?***

So much of our ocean remains unexplored, but we at least know there is life here.

What are the scientific reasons that space exploration is prioritized, and the obsession with colonizing mars over creating the possibility to live in the ocean?

Mars is of value because it gives us another chance of earth is wiped out by an asteroid or like catastrophe.

The ocean obviously doesn't. You might say the second place for subterranean existence. It's just not relevant.

Also one cannot verify the existence of life beyond our earth from under our oceans.
 
The Abyss is better than Armegeddon so that’s gotta count for something.

the probability of mars being wiped out by asteroid/catastrophe would be just as high as earth
 
I believe the danger of a large object hitting earth and also military applications as the idea of higher ground takes greater precedence. You cannot hide from a satellite even in a sub. greater commercial applications such as telecommunications even though we run wires underwater and even server farms. The idea of traveling to Hong Kong in 45 mins from LA or 1.2 hours from New York have tremendous potential.
 
Because we eventually need to leave this rock we live on, even though it's our home world. I firmly believe that while earth is our cradle, it will not be humanity's grave.
 
what if the aliens are actually in the ocean

ok, why?

you're just sharing your desire, but not really a scientific reason

Yes but by being on both you double humanities chances, not to mention the inevitable space stations and industry.

I'm curious what leads you to think Mars is of some use to us in the case of an emergency? Where have you got this idea from?

Humanity will never, ever move to another planet, it's inconceivable but by the ridiculous stretch that it was made possible given the 0.0000000000000001% chance all the worlds leaders came together to spend 10000000000000000000 sextillion dollars and created technology that doesn't exist in a time frame of 100 years compressed into 10 years.

Even at that unbelievably unrealistic notion they would only ever send the Earths finest 0.1%, the brightest, most intelligent humans on this voyage. Whatever came of the earth would be the end for 99.99% of humanity.

So the notion of Mars ever being some saving grace is utterly and entirely ridiculous to say the very least.
 
a lot more of space isnt explored than earth....

they are doing both its not like they stopped exploring the ocean because of space

Mars is maybe a place that humans and cats can move after we destroy this planet.

You say 'we' like the government would create a portal and every person would go live in the land of Narnia happily ever after, the truth is humans are expendable and we ain't worth anything, even if a meteor was heading toward earth. 90% would die because the worlds elite wouldn't care enough to create protection for us lol

Also Earth is the most unique planet in our solar system, it's amazing, it can harber life, it has an ozone layer to protect from radiation, oxygen, water, grows natural foods and evolves by itself. Earth is awesome and there is no reason to ever leave it or even think about leaving it, no other known planet can do what ours does.

It's dirty humans that ruin this perfect world.
 
Water pressure.

Also, you can't grow shit at the bottom of the ocean and it's dark.

If we're to survive as a species, we need to spread out to other planets.

There WILL be cataclysmic events in Earth's future. It's only a matter of when.

This isn't a matter of saving the people living here, it's preservation of the species.
 
The ocean is part of our ecosystem, if we screw it up like we do everything else we touch we're dead.

Space is obviously independent of our planet. The more independent locations we establish the less likely our species is to be snuffed by an extinction level event. Sooner or later Earth will get smacked with something that will wipe us out, probably from the Taurid meteor stream, or Earth will be incinerated when our own sun expands. Any way you slice it, we need to get off this ball of dirt to survive as a species.
 
More likely to find creatures to fuck in outer space

Does anyone else remember that futuristic TV show from when I was a kid about, it's like Star Trek but they're exploring the deep sea in a submarine instead..... Blanking on the name
