OCEANGATE COFOUNDER NOW PLANNING TOTALLY SAFE COLONY ABOVE VENUS
SURE, WHAT COULD GO WRONG?
Ever wanted to live in the atmosphere of our Solar System's hottest planet? In just a few short decades, you might — or at least, that's what the other co-founder of OceanGate, the builder of the doomed Titanic-seeking submersible, is saying.
In an interview with Insider, still-living OceanGate cofounder Guillermo Söhnlein introduced his latest ambitious venture: Humans2Venus, a research group bent on creating a colony that floats above the uber-hot planet's surface and that he says, by 2050, will be home to 1,000 people.
As hostile as the depths of the ocean are, Venus just might be worse. Though the planet has at times been referred to as "Earth's twin," NASA notes that its thick sulfuric atmosphere — the same one that Söhnlein wants to cram a colony into — traps heat in a "runaway greenhouse effect," which leads to surface temperatures of a whopping 900 degrees Fahrenheit. If Venus is our twin, it's the evil one.
