The Co-Founder of OceanGate wants to send 1000 people to venus!! Sign up info here
 

Beginning to think this guy isn't a failed explorer at all, but really a rich and imaginative serial killer . . .


P.S. I happen to have a few rolls of 'out of date' carbon fiber (black duct tape) in case he's short some

What could go wrong

Please control the spaceship with this

"have you tried pressing the red button???"

**** that. I want to visit Uranus.

I'm hung like planet pluto
hard to see with the naked eye
but if i crashed into uranus
i would stick it where the sun don't shine
Im kinda like han solo
always stroking my own wookie
I'm the root of all evil
but you can call me cookie

zTrip drops off at the GBS for a fraction of the price if you can get on Bill’s calendar

I nominate Prison Bitch.

This was a very romantic song between myself and a man I saw for a summer.

I need more information before I can make a decision. Are these condos? Apartments? Single family floating space pods? What are the property taxes? Who handles maintenance? And are pets allowed?

im going to mic this up and sing it to you

Isn't venus like 400° and the atmosphere made of poison gas?

Oh i guess i could have read the OP lmao

My favorite part here is how they just have to figure out how to develop anti-gravity suspension fields first so the shit can float like Cloud City

Listen, all we need to do first is figure out how to fold space, but if we all put our heads together, I think we can knock that out pretty quick, and it should not prevent you from sending me money in the meantime

I was shopping at Bass Pro and Walmart today. I saw several off-the-shelf items that are perfect for this voyage.

Shotgun!

Damn, now I want to play some Atari Warlords.

An early look at the prototype of the ship

I’d throw my bra but they haven’t grown much.

I was promised sign-up info.

Dang it, I'm going to have to get that new driver for my bag and a solar powered golf cart for the trip.

Wait, what is our National Anthum there?

Venus by Bobby V
or
Venus by Shocking Blue

Venus only has 91% of Earth's gravity, and it would be even lower at high altitudes. I suspect you could throw it away forever.

In the new Barbie movie Ken says "I lost interest in patriarchy when i realized it wasnt about horses. "

I feel like I'll have a similar movement.

Sounds like a modern day Hitler, sending people to their death in the name of exploration.

There are no joos, Mexicans or gheys there, so he might consider it.

I know a few people I would like to sign up for that trip..... but only if they go and pick them up "old school the movie style right before liftoff".

Are they killing more rich people?

Send the San Francisco shoplifters.

Isaac Asimov wrote some stories set on Venus. It's possible with the right equipment (that we don't have).

😂
Panty. Dropper.

Can we just lock up all these mad scientists before they murder someone else, please?

Send the Denver Broncos.

With Mark Davis as the pilot.

LOL. I cant imagine this guy going "hey we had a catastrophic failure under water, lets try SPACE!!!"


would love to be at some of the meetings

Obvious humor aside...

Theoretically you could change Venus' atmosphere by scraping gasses and/or creating a huge solar shield to terraform into a livable planet (which would be great considering its gravity is about 91% of Earth's so gravitational effects on bones and such wouldn't be as problematic as with the moon, space stations, or Mars). The problem is that it would take centuries of continual work to do, and way too much money.

An interesting and curious thought though nonetheless. I hope one day mankind is self sustainably living on other planets. It's the only way to guarantee the survival of the only known sentience in the universe.

If the Earth is 6,000 years old, how old is Venus?

Many years ago, I read an article about a plan to terraform Venus using some sort of bacteria or algae or something. Apparently this organism likes to eat the stuff that's currently in Venus' atmosphere and then it belts out the waste as something that doesn't trap heat as much. I don't remember the details, but either it spit out oxygen, or you do another phase with a different organism that takes in CO and spits out O2. The author was arguing that you could terraform Venus pretty inexpensively by dumping some of this stuff into the upper atmosphere and then waiting a hundred years. I was intrigued.

Venus isn't real it was put there around 5k years ago to test your faith.

Interesting. I've never heard of this. I'll have to do some digging and see what I can find on this. Of course, whatever lives there has to be able to survive at like 900 degrees Fahrenheit, so it'll have to be some really resilient (probably bio-engineered) bacteria!

This article from a website I've never heard of references the idea as being proposed by Carl Sagan in 1961, but says that barriers have been identified that make it impossible. Darn it. The proposal offers some other methods, but they aren't as easy as a fire-and-forget organic solution.

Conditions in Venus’ upper atmosphere (50-60km) are roughly equivalent to the Earth’s; including temp/pressure. It has been proposed so where that since oxygen and nitrogen would be lifting, gases on Venus, a colony could be floated in Venus’ upper atmosphere.

This guy should be the very last guy to get that contract though.

Mostly for me is there an HOA involved in anyway?

Leave me out of it!

The winds on Venus are roughly 200 mph. You don't want someone leaving the lids off their trash cans or not bagging their lawn clippings there, so you might want to have an HOA.
