"OceanGate Co-founder Aims to Establish Venus Colony for 1,000 People by 2050"
Guillermo Söhnlein, co-founder of OceanGate Expeditions and chairman of Humans2Venus, aims to establish a floating colony on Venus by 2050, accommodating up to 1,000 humans. Despite the recent tragedy involving the Titan submersible, Söhnlein believes that humans could survive in a sliver of the Venusian atmosphere about 30 miles from the surface. The proposed colony would need to withstand the planet's sulfuric acids and hurricane-force winds. Söhnlein envisions a privately-funded venture that could overcome the challenges of space exploration faster than NASA.
