  1. > Mr Söhnlein co-founded OceanGate alongside Stockton Rush, 61, in 2009 and left the company in 2013 to focus on several other projects including the Humans2Venus Foundation. The non-profit, established in 2020, has the far-fetched aim to promote Venus as a potential future long-term home for humanity, despite the fact we have not yet physically travelled further than the moon.

    > Explaining how we can safely put humans on Venus earlier, the Argentinian-born Oceangate co-founder **even insisted that it is possible to “embark on our Venusian journey TODAY…“**

    > “The reality is that Venus is much closer to Earth and has a much more similar orbit, which makes it much more accessible than Mars (lower cost, more frequent flight windows, shorter transit times, higher safety, etc.),”

    > “If anything, one could argue that sending humans to Venus BEFORE sending them to Mars might be a better way to safely develop the capabilities to create a Martian community.”

    > The creator of the BioPod, Interstellar Lab, explained that it is “designed for intensive and sustainable production of plants and high-value botanicals” and can produce in excess of seven tonnes of products a year.

    > “This marks yet another major milestone for E2MC Ventures portfolio company Interstellar Lab in its quest to help make humanity a multi-planet species… while also helping to improve life here on Earth,”

    So exciting. Putting my entire net worth into Xbox controller futures.

  3. Well the good news is that space doesn’t have the same concerns with cabin pressure…

    Really? How nice. If he believes in it so much, let him ride in one, just like the last guy in that submarine.

    Totally read the headline as “bipod” and was thoroughly confused. 🤦🏼‍♂️

    These people just want to be crushed in expensive new and interesting ways 

  7. Venus is one of the most inhospitable planets to try to colonize. I mean they all are, but Atleast Mars won’t crush and melt you.

    This dude should be in jail if he was involved in the construction and design of that sun, not spouting off on nonsense like this.

  8. He is welcome to build it and volunteer as the first solo passenger. You know, so he can keep all the glory in the history books…

    “We couldn’t handle the pressure because we built a stupid thing out of expired components, so we’re going after way more superheated pressure of sulfuric acid, after a never-before-attempted interstellar journey for untrained astronauts.”

    Calls on Logitech?!

  10. I think she’s been playing too many videos games. Scientifically speaking, we aren’t on that level yet.

    Soon some billionaire will have the immense privilege of being the first human to suffocate to death on another planet.

    How is ocean-gate even a thing still? You’re telling me they claim they can figure out how to survive on Venus but completely got fucked on figuring out how to survive on earth in the ocean, which has had SO MUCH MORE EXPERIENCE AND SCIENCE behind it? Yeah sure okay 👍🏻.

    What the hell do the leet know about earth’s future that they are pushing so hard to try and pawn off the general populace onto other planets?

    And if earth’s demise is not imminent why would anyone in their right mind CHOOSE to willingly leave earth, where even the most misery filled existence holds more blessings and resources than a cold, dark, probably waterless hellscape?

    Hmm.

    The article doesn’t mention how he plans to deal with the 800-degree surface temps.
