The cofounder of OceanGate, the firm whose CEO died on a deep-sea dive for the Titanic, now wants to send 1,000 people to Venus





Guillermo Söhnlein, who cofounded OceanGate with the deceased Stockton Rush in 2009, has revealed plans to build a colony that will reside in the atmosphere of the planet Venus—and he’s looking for 1,000 people to live there.
Söhnlein left OceanGate in 2013, retaining a minority stake in the now-shuttered company. He has had a long-standing interest in space commercialization, however. And he’s approaching it with an aggressive timeline. He hopes to send those people to Venus by 2050.



That’s going to be tough. The surface temperature of Venus is 872° F, and the pressure is roughly the same as 3,000 feet below the ocean’s surface. A 2008 article in Universe Today, however, theorized that the area 50 kilometers above the planet could be more Earth-like and could potentially support a floating city. (You’d have to do something about the sulfuric acid in the atmosphere and lack of oxygen, though, it noted.)
Söhnlein is undeterred, though, telling Business Insider, “I think it is less aspirational than putting a million people on the Martian surface by 2050…I think it’s also very doable.” He did not detail how he planned to achieve this, however.
Attracting people to make that journey could be challenging following the OceanGate tragedy, which saw five people die. Söhnlein likes to invest in companies that push the envelope, though. The goal, he says, is to help humanity escape the boundaries of Earth.


Venus is the warmest planet in the solar system. Its atmosphere is chock-full of carbon dioxide, its surface temperature could melt lead, and sulfuric acid rains down from its clouds. Its atmospheric pressure is crushing — more than 90 times that of Earth, according to NASA.


“I think I’ve been driven to help make humanity a multi-planet species since I was 11 years old,” he said. “I had this recurring dream of being the commander of the first Martian colony…Forget OceanGate. Forget Titan. Forget Stockton. Humanity could be on the verge of a big breakthrough and not take advantage of it because we, as a species, are gonna get shut down and pushed back into the status quo.”

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.

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 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.

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".
