Titan Sub Co-Founder Claims He Can Safely Send Humans to Venus

Guillermo Söhnlein, co-founder of OceanGate, believes humanity can safely colonize Venus despite its extreme conditions, proposing the use of breathing apparatus and acid-resistant materials. He argues that Venus is more accessible than Mars and suggests building habitats 50km above its surface. Söhnlein, who left OceanGate in 2013, remains undeterred by the Titan submersible disaster and continues to pursue ambitious space exploration projects.

"Floating City on Venus: Your Next Adventure Awaits!"

Guillermo Söhnlein, co-founder of OceanGate, plans to colonize Venus by sending 1,000 people to its atmosphere by 2050. Despite the risks, Söhnlein believes it is "very doable" and has been researching the matter for a long time. While some experts think colonizing Venus may be easier than Mars, it remains to be seen if Söhnlein can convince enough people to embark on this unique adventure.

"OceanGate Cofounder's Ambitious Plan: A Safe Colony Above Venus"

Guillermo Söhnlein, co-founder of OceanGate, is now planning to create a colony floating above Venus by 2050 through his research group, Humans2Venus. Despite Venus' extreme conditions, including surface temperatures of 900 degrees Fahrenheit, Söhnlein believes the project is doable and aims to accommodate 1,000 people. The technological breakthroughs required to withstand Venus' atmosphere for prolonged periods remain unclear, but Söhnlein is determined to pursue this ambitious venture, emphasizing the need for humanity to seize opportunities for progress.

"OceanGate Founder's Ambitious Plan: Sending Humans to Venus"

Guillermo Söhnlein, co-founder of OceanGate, is now focusing on colonizing Venus through his company Humans2Venus. Despite astronomers deeming Venus uninhabitable due to its hostile environment, Söhnlein believes that by 2050, 1,000 humans could live on the planet. He argues that Venus offers a 1G gravity, tolerable temperature, and sufficient radiation protection, although challenges such as the CO2-heavy atmosphere and sulfuric acid clouds would need to be addressed. Söhnlein's vision diverges from the prevailing focus on Mars colonization, as he believes a 1G destination is necessary for humanity to become a multi-planet species.

"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.
