Yes, come to space…
We welcome you hereUh I mean nobody is here, it’s entirely empty.In a way, the emptiness is more terrifying than anything else.
Have you seen what’s down there? It’s terrifying.
You don’t have to tell me. Deep down at the bottom of the ocean? The whole place is crawling with…capitalists.
Yeah, yeah. I know. Andrew Ryan gave us all the big, shiny speech, “sweat of your brow” and all that, but what’s he got down there now? Just a buncha junkies and opportunists running guns and peeling off all of that pretty art deco veneer.
Thanks but no thanks, Ryan.
There isn’t much to see on the moon. It’s a giant piece of rock. You’re been there once, you’ve seen it.
Deep ocean is a whole different story. Very many, very different ecosystems.
Tbh I’ve never been to the moon so I’m not sure actually
What about the theme park?
🎵 We’re whalers on the moon, we carry a harpoon. But there ain’t no whales so we tell tall tales and sing a whaling tune. 🎵
If Lovecraft has taught us anythig, it’s that looking too closely into either one is a BAD idea.
It is much more complicated and difficult to explore the depths of the ocean than going into space, given that in space there is no need for vehicles that must withstand these enormous pressures. In space they only have to withstand an air pressure of 1 atm and not a thousand atm in the depths of the seas. A simple crack in the hull and you’re dead before you can say sh…
Just like how we explore moon/mars, we been using remote controlled submarine for quite a while now

The challenge of deepsea is not pressure, it’s the limited visibility and range they can get with the submarine drone. On moon and mars, everything on the horizon is visible once the sun hit the surface, but deepsea doesn’t have that perk, and water block any radiation so well the submarine need to be tethered in order to receive signal and send video feed.

Made me think of this Futurama scene.

How’s Dagon these days? Haven’t heard from him since that whole Innsmouth incident.
“We know more about space than the oceans”
Bitch the stars are out in the open. All you have to do is look up. We’ve been doing it since the dawn of civilization.
Sorry, I hear that factoid too much from people don’t know better.
but that doesnt make the ‘factoid’ any less true…
What about all the oceans on all the other planets?
This is such an apples and oranges comparison, it grinds my gears every time it gets used to justify some nonsense conspiracy or cryptozoology nonsense.
Sorry for being a grump.
Yea and I’d purely guess most worlds with life of some kind are on some sort of water planet, so you flee the ‘scary oceans’ at home to encounter alien ones of the same. If you can’t adapt to the first real good luck on the second.
