Scientists with the Norwegian Orca Survey and Orca Channel have documented, for the first time and in astounding detail, the birth of an orca and the newborn's first hour.
All the more reason why we need to conquer the oceans with underwater bases waaaaaay before we try to conquer Mars. If we can’t build an underwater base, we are completely and utterly hopeless towards the goal of living on any sort of space-bound entity.
I’m going to go ahead and say those are different goals.
Also, we’ve had underwater bases, we just haven’t continued to man them, there just wasn’t the will to continue funding it. Sealab
We could conquer the oceans, we just aren’t interested enough. We could conquer space too, we just aren’t interested enough. We are humans, the ultimate badasses of this galaxy; as soon as enough of us are in favor of doing something, i.e. willing to pay for something, we can do it. No exceptions.

OMG Sealab II (62m deep) was supplied by a mfing dolphin called Tuffy 🥲 the world needs more of this!
Edit: the lesson of sealab3 is that 100+m habitats are harder to build and maintain than the ISS, because the pressure difference is 10x larger.
Yeah, that’s pretty great. I really want to believe that’s 100% true and not an exaggeration in any way. Tuffy for the win.
