SETI bioastro: Undersea Colonies

• Previous message: Alex Michael Bonnici: "SETI bioastro: The Discovery Enterprise: Mysteries"

Hello Gang,
            I would like to direct your attention to an exciting Undersea Colony Project inaugurated by Dennis Chamberland. I am currently involved in this project and have been appointed its European Union Liaison.
  There is a whole kingdom that lies uninhabited just beneath us. While we live crowded and struggling on a mere 59 million square miles of dry land, this new territory of certain promise spreads out before our very eyes and unfolds to encompass an astonishing 138 million cubic miles of habitable space! I am speaking of the oceans – whose human population is now and has always been - zero. While there a few military men ply beneath the waves in submarines, they have no seafloor base to call home and they are always moving and temporary visitors without even a window from which to peer out. I am speaking of a human colony – a human undersea city – a permanent dwelling place for people and even families. Today it is but fantasy, as it has always been. But no more. As of today, the dream of permanently settling the undersea regions of our earth has taken wings.This is the site of the Atlantica I and II Expeditions that will establish the first human undersea colony. We do not intent to establish a base or an outpost, but a human colony. Soon, beneath the sea, families will live and work. Children will go to school. A new generation of children will be born there – the first citizens of a new ocean civilization.

The Leviathan Habitat is the undersea habitat designed specifically for the Atlantica Expeditions world record breaking 80 day mission scheduled to begin in 2009. The Leviathan is designed for continuous habitation four aquanauts during the extended undersea mission.The Leviathan is designed to maximize functionality in a restricted space. Its floor plan allows for two private aquanaut staterooms as well as a private bath, separate wet room with hot shower and a command and control room that doubles as the community space and entertainment module.

The Undersea Colonies by Dennis Chamberland book is also available for purchase.

  Of all one hundred billion humans who have ever lived, not a single one has gone to live permanently undersea. While we have had the technology to settle this vast, three dimensional domain for over half a century, it remains empty of outposts, colonies or cities – or even of a single settler. While its immense territory covers nearly three quarters of the globe, no one has ever gone there to stay. In this book, Dennis Chamberland traces the history of the aquanaut from the first tentative 24 hour experiment in 1962 until today. Surprisingly, a careful reading of the record of humankind’s penetration of the oceans reveals misdirected starts, misunderstandings of the human’s capacity to adapt and, eventually, a great abandonment of the quest. But now, Chamberland unveils a visionary strategy and a fresh, new look at previous challenges that will soon open up the expansive undersea regions called Aquatica. Here will arrive 21st century pioneers, colonists and families who will become the first Aquaticans in what may yet prove to be the greatest human adventure in all of history.
