Colonize The Ocean

These episode argues that the United States should shift funding and focus from space exploration to ocean exploration. They highlight that while space receives significantly more attention and resources, the oceans are a nearby frontier with immense potential for discovering solutions to critical problems like climate change, food scarcity, and energy needs, as well as yielding valuable medical a...

Is the drive to explore outer space and put humans on the Moon and Mars misguided? Should those funds be used here on earth, more specifically under the waves? #ocean #space #moon #mars #NASA #angryastronaut #spaceexploration #oceanexploration #spacex #underwater #funding

This article from InDEPTH Magazine by Phil Short of DEEP Research Labs provides a chronological overview of human subsea habitats, beginning with early experiments and detailing the development of various types, including floating, access shaft, semi-autonomous, and autonomous designs. It highlights significant missions and structures throughout history, such as Conshelf, Sealab, Hydrolab, and Aqu...

Why do you follow ASC and / or Colonize The Ocean? For some it is just to be a part of the potential of something great, but what is it for you? #scuba #underwater #future #community #support #underwaterhabitat #seasteading

This episode examines the advantages of using underwater habitats for simulating space missions, particularly for long-duration stays on the Moon and Mars. While acknowledging the limitations of previous facilities like land-based analogs and training pools, the text emphasizes how next-generation underwater habitats, with modular designs and advanced technology, can overcome these shortcomings. I...

Alright, so maybe not the best title on this one. Brendon discusses why ASC has pivoted on their approach to "colonizing the ocean" and how this has been a discussion point for many years. Do you agree that this is a wise move? Are you excited about the potential? #underwaterhabitat #underwater #scuba #freshwater #marineengineering #design

This article discusses the ambitious goals of a U.K. startup named DEEP, which aims to establish permanent underwater habitats for humans, drawing parallels to SpaceX's impact on space exploration. DEEP plans to construct underwater living spaces using 3D-printing technology, starting with smaller, short-term habitats and progressing to larger, longer-term facilities. The article highlights the po...

In this 5-minute Colonize The Ocean short, Brendon dives into modular underwater habitats—prefab units that connect like LEGO to create scalable ocean communities. Discover how these building blocks could make underwater living affordable and flexible, from small pods to thriving cities. Inspired by a listener question, Brendon explores their potential and invites you to share your ideas on Discor...

A German aerospace engineer, Rudiger Köch, lived underwater for 120 days in a specially designed SeaPod off the coast of Panama. This endeavor, undertaken by Köch and Ocean Builders co-founder Grant Romundt, aimed to test the viability of underwater habitats and break the previous record. While submerged, Köch conducted daily activities and observed marine life, highlighting the potential for sust...
