Guillermo Söhnleinm told Insider he has wanted to make humanity a multi-planet species since he was 11 years old, and that OceanGate was part of that ambition.

As long as all of them are billionaires, then I think I’d be okay with it.
He should make himself a space ship and be the first one to go there!
And take 999 of his millionaire and billionaire friends with him.
That could solve a lot of immediate problems, wouldn’t it? The CO2 reduction impact would be real in one fell swoop.
Why Venus? It’s completely uninhabitable. I learned that when I was probably around 6 years old. Billionaires need to stop considering themselves scientists just because they can pay people to make them look smart
Venus has some things going for it, like a relatively earth-like gravity of 8,87 m/s² (about 90% of earths) , an atmosphere blocking radiation and being relatively close to earth . The proposed colony would float in a part of the atmosphere that is less hot and dense than the surface. It still wouldn’t be very useful, you can’t utilise the resources on the surface. And it would be obviously very risky.
His mom: we have Venus at home.
Venus at home: hottest places on earth.
What a dumbass. Are all billionaires dumb or what?
To be fair atmospheric pressure on Mars will be far more forgiving to their submarine than bottom of the ocean.
The atmospheric pressure at the surface of Venus (the topic of the article) would be much worse than the bottom of any Earth ocean, so you better not let your floating Venus city accidentally succumb to gravity.
Oh I am dumb, I somehow read Mars instead of Venus
Can’t even safely reach the titanic and wants to go to a literal hellhole of a planet that has absolutely no benefit for humanity.
wdym no benefit to humanity? if he takes a few of his billionaire friends with him, the world becomes a slightly better place overnight!
OceanGate
Yikes I don’t know what this name reminds me of more, Watergate the scandal or Heaven’s Gate the death cult.
Do not provide him with free publicity.
