TLDR · SCIENCE & FUTURISTIC TECHNOLOGY
IN 2025, PEOPLE WILL TRY LIVING IN THIS UNDERWATER HABITAT
Summary from the TLDR newsletter
Ocean exploration organization Deep has embarked on a multiyear quest to enable scientists to live on the sea floor at depths of up to 200 meters. It is currently developing and testing a small modular habitat called Vanguard that is capable of housing up to three divers for up to a week or so. Vanguard is a steppingstone to a more permanent modular habitat system called Sentinel set to launch in 2027. Deep is aiming for a permanent human presence in the ocean by 2030. Its plans are possible thanks to an advanced 3D printing-welding approach that can print these large habitation structures.
