The episode where he tells Jonathan Brandis about condoms remains to this day the cringiest thing I have ever seen on a TV show. By far.
i legit thought this was some wacky futurist article from 10 years ago that someone posted for fun
Space is hard to get to, no gravity, and there's radiation.
Underwater has high pressure, corrosion, and no natural lighting.
When you get an air leak in space, you find the hole and patch it. When you get a leak underwater, you don't have to worry about it at all because it takes care of things in microseconds.

I have an idea. Let's stick all of the world's billionaires into a submarine and see if lightning strikes twice.
The trouble with all these schemes is that it's totally contrary to poweful real world trends. The surface of the Earth has an overwhelming abundance of rural land that is incredibly hospitable to life. And these places are depopulating because people prefer living in cities. How are you gonna get people to move to the bottom of the sea, or Mars, if they don't even want to move to West Virginia?
People don't really want to live in the cities they just want to live where they can get a job. Largely rural communities don't really have an overabundance of employment opportunities, tend to have crap internet, and most of the properties are already owned by rich people who want a second home, so house prices are completely insane.

I guess the people in charge haven’t read the rifters trilogy. I don’t trust any of ‘em, but at least we already have a pandemic; they probably can’t make it worse.
