yea… at least mars has the potential of people being able to walk on the surface (with spacesuits).

Venus… Well. It’s pretty deadly. Its like the Australia of planets. Everything will kill you.

Deadly winds. Acid rain. Scorching hot.

Isn’t, too many positive traits…

As we disembark the planet please let oligarchs and billionaires go first. They took all the risk to achieve such great things. And if you look deep down (12,500’) you will see this is the way it has to be.

Faresh,

That reminds me of that scene in the Douglas Adam’s Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, where

spoilerthe Golgafrinchans invent an incoming world-ending tragedy, in an excuse to send into space all people with useless/supefluous jobs (bureaucrats, hairdressers, telephone cleaners, etc.) to a new planet, saying that the remaining parts of society will come after.

One must not forget that after including people like telephone sanitizers under what they deemed superfluous, the Golgafrinchans all died out from a plague contracted from a dirty telephone.

Why don’t they do a floating colony on Earth first as a test?

They did, it just didn’t float.

OcanGate must be controlled by anarchist lizard people, posing themselves as being millionaires, with a secret plan to kill all of earth’s rich people.

Cool let’s start with all of their friends and family.

SulaymanF, (edited ) in OceanGate co-founder wants to send 1,000 people to a floating colony on Venus by 2050

Why Venus? Because Mars was somehow taken?

21Cabbage,

Cause it sounds new and exciting and will get him more suckers to defraud, presumably.

psycho_driver, in OceanGate co-founder wants to send 1,000 people to a floating colony on Venus by 2050

I might be able to come up with a list of 1,000 people I’d like to send to Venus. 100 for sure.

the_kalash,

I think we should keep with the ocean gate tradition of sending billionaires.

feedum_sneedson, in OceanGate co-founder wants to send 1,000 people to a floating colony on Venus by 2050

I respect the attempt to capitalise on a tragedy. Or possibly I’m disgusted by it. Either way.

archiotterpup, in OceanGate co-founder wants to send 1,000 people to a floating colony on Venus by 2050

Can we get a non-business major to run these companies? Clearly these folks don’t know what they’re doing.

They know exactly what they are doing. The trick is that what they are doing is different to what they say they are doing.

Draces,

I dunno Stockton Rush definitely followed through with his very, exceedingly stupid word

InverseParallax,

Shut up, don’t discourage them!

holycrap, in OceanGate co-founder wants to send 1,000 people to a floating colony on Venus by 2050

As long as they limit the passengers to people with a net worth of 100 million or higher, then I think this should be encouraged.

lettruthout,

That would keep them safe from the giant space goat.

InverseParallax,

Now that is a reference from a frood who knows where his towel is!

Gotta love rich people trying to make their personal space kingdom instead of fixing the mess they made down here.

I call dibs on the joypad. Don’t worry, I’m decedent at Gran Turismo.

Oh, I’m sure after what happened to the submersible that they’ll have volunteers lining up around the block for a space flight.

kick_out_the_jams, in A Lufthansa pilot traced a 15-mile-long penis shape in the sky after being asked to divert his plane

it's hard to tell by the orientation but it's clearly a rocket not a phallus

cybervseas,

“It’s a rocket ship to fly us to jungle land!”

it’s not the onion, but it is the post—which should be treated with equal seriousness as the onion.
