Very cool! I was unaware that there are still underwater facilities operating.

[nitronorman]

There were a set of book, The Undersea Fleet, or Undersea Trilogy, that was about a pair of cadets/ children who went to join an undersea fleet of ships that serviced the cities on the bottom of the oceans, and the mysteries of the people and things that happened down there.

One day. ONE DAY i will live in a pineapple under the sea...

Thing that most people don't think about is how incredibly DEEP the ocean is. Even submarines don't really go all that deep, compared to the vastness and of depths of say, the Pacific Ocean alone.

[comentedonakeyboard]

The problem is that there is no english word for "Unterwasserwohnungsbau"😂

[jasperdoornbos]

Yes! I read exactly those books! And as a child I got ‘Spaceships 2000’ from the library in the little village I lived. The Terran Trade Autority, I believe.

[remkoburger]

Excellent video, yet again. If you hold this up, this channel will be big.

[grambo]

Could you do the subject of Y2K Futurism.

[daveweiss]

Awesome video! I remember think about this as a kid reading those same books! Also, I have been subscribed since the beginning, coming over from the other channel and I think this is the first time I have gotten a video notification grom this channel without seatching it out!

[AmigaA-orhj]

You won’t have any nosey neighbours!😂 I‘ve watched an old movie called, “Hello Down There.” It’s about a family living in an experimental underwater house.🏠

[Derpy]

We don’t live underwater for the same reason we do t live on Mars: cost

[DuarfS]

I love underwater cities! I appreciated seeing this so well depicted in Black Panther 2. You should do a video about how Saudi Arabia is pushing future living projects and go into why they are spending this much on wild projects.

[brodriguez]

What problem(s) do underwater cities solve, that couldn't be dealt with any other way?

[thomasvnl]

Local space seems to be a lot easier to explore due to the lack of pressure than the ocean is due to the extreme pressure. Its a fun idea to think about what would happen if we are able to create vehicles, buildings, and other transportation systems that can survive giant amounts of pressure with ease without pressure exerting on human beings (if at all possible). Would make exploring the Earth's core a lot more doable as well.

[DeanStephen]

Having scuba dived, as well as having been in a tourist-class windowed submarine, I can vouch for the vast majority of the ocean being an uninteresting dessert, and most underwater environments being extremely stale and claustrophobic. That even applies to most surface-level ocean vehicles no matter how luxurious. Space colonisation will result in similarly small and stale spaces for a very long time, likely lifetimes.

[ZacLowing]

An environment that is actively constantly trying to encrust you

[rickythomas]

It's honestly too risky for too little.

[oxxnarrdflame]

Technology may advance but the sea is still and always will be a harsh environment and like space expensive to habatat. One needs a very good reason and the funding to try.

[onetruekeeper]

Underwater structures don't last long due to corrosive nature of seawater.

[Chedring]

The answer is "why?" Living underwater is a novelty at best, and no amount of resource extraction can make constructing, maintaining and oxygen-ating a habitat worth it. EVEN IF YOU IGNORE preservation and ecofriendly activism, there is simply no value.
Habitats in space, to facilitate mass extraction of raw resources can make it worth it eventually. But there is nothing underwater that we cannot mine for or simply make an (oil)rig above.
