The co-founder of OceanGate—the expedition company involved in the recent Titanic wreck submersible disaster—is now setting his sights on something even more ambitious than the bottom of the Atlantic: the planet Venus.
"Other than potentially building an O'Neill cylinder or a Stanford torus, it did not look like we would ever be able to offset the long-term effects of less-than-1G gravity on the surface of the Moon or Mars ," the businessman wrote.would be able to reproduce in these low-gravity environments, from conception to gestation to birth to genetic defects and mutations. For all we knew, our species could potentially get all the way to Mars and then die out within a single generation.
Söhnlein wrote that he came across research accumulated during Venera, a Russian mission to Venus, launched between 1961 and 1983, that stated gravity above Venus' surface measured 1G. "Eureka!" Söhnlein wrote."Even better, at that altitude the air pressure measured roughly 1ATM, the temperature was relatively tolerable , and the atmosphere provided sufficient radiation protection . Of course, the downsides were the CO2-heavy atmosphere and the clouds made of sulfuric acid. Then again, we already had technologies here on Earth to offset both."
