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

[superpunch]

What space exploration are you talking about, exactly? We sent a man to the moon in 1969. Then we couldn't even put a man into space until like a year or 2 ago. All this when we had the technology to do manned missions to Mars and the outer solar system like Saturn in the 1970s (project orion). Fact is, we were told not to send man to the moon anymore nor to send man further away either by whatever already had bases on the moon and, presumably, beyond the moon.

At the very least gives us an earlier warning and some intel

Well if they can travel the distances needed for interstellar travel it's safe to say that by the time we found out that they took the mars we'd probably be getting attacked with Tech we have no answer for.

Because having the higher ground is a tactical advantage.

Also it is easy for us to add pressure and water to and experiment but one cannot remove gravity without going further out into space. Basic experiments are done easily under water, we're still working out how fire works in micro gravity.

All that's only really important because of space being a military platform and the possibility of resources up there. Although I've yet to see resources being a cost effective reason for space exploration.

The ocean is part of the planet we're destroying our habitat on. Thus, it seems obvious as to why we look outward.

More space for our shit, literally.

 

[hillelslovak87]

The Sea is the origination of Eldritch horror images like that. It was the endless void before we knew what space really was.

I just watched interstellar on Netflix

still resolute that finding ways to save earth is better roi than space

 

[Cole train]

Because expance is peak scifi

 

[My name is]

Is there like a nasa equivalent for the ocean

 

[burningspear]

because when we finally destroy mother earth we cant live in the oceans

Insurmountable pressures.

 

[DanSavage]

Mars gives us things the ocean doesn’t have, like a space outpost Incase aliens come to invade.

We might stop them before they get to earth.

Think of it as a fort in the old days.

In the old days they built forts because they knew there were hostiles out there.

So far, no signs of life out in space. Show signs of life in space that are hostile to humans and you might have a point.

No point in wasting billions of dollars for something that might happen.

because when we finally destroy mother earth we cant live in the oceans

no matter how bad we fuck up the earth it's still habitable than anything that we travel to or even observe through the best or telescope

 

[wlu.29]

Insurmountable pressures.

less surmountable than finding a planet and dealing with even greater unsurmountable odds

 

[AmonTobin]

Until we invent a forcefield for the bottom of the ocean or FTL travel, we’re stuck both ways.

Space travel is fayk and teh ghey
