Guillermo Söhnleinm told Insider he has wanted to make humanity a multi-planet species since he was 11 years old, and that OceanGate was part of that ambition.
If a space station could be designed to withstand the sulfuric acid in the clouds…
If…IF…
I mean, sulfuric acid is no joke. It eats away clothing, metal; it heats up when it gets wet. The only way you can effectively neutralize it is with soda ash. You just don’t design something that’s going to survive that for the long-term, and have to send it through space as well. I wouldn’t step one foot into anything this man’s company makes after the Titan.
Obligatory, “Not you Guillermo.”
Why Venus? Why not Mars where it’s a tad more hospitable? Plus throw in a trip to see the rovers
There’s a region of Venus that’s not horrible. It’s basically a band in the atmosphere where the ambient temperature and pressure is relatively Earth-like, so one can arguably be outside with just an oxygen mask.
Never mind that a long lasting floating habitat has not been built on Earth, much less thirty million miles away.
