OceanGate Co-Founder Aims for Venus Colonization

Guillermo Söhnlein, co-founder of OceanGate involved in the Titan submersible tragedy, is now advocating for human exploration and potential colonization of Venus by 2050, emphasizing the planet's closer proximity to Earth, manageable challenges with technology, and suitability for human habitats in its atmosphere. Söhnlein believes Venus offers advantages over Mars due to its orbit, accessibility, and potential for developing interplanetary travel capabilities. Despite skepticism from experts, he remains optimistic about Venus colonization, aiming to establish a human presence in floating cities above the planet's surface. The tragic Titan incident has not deterred Söhnlein, who sees Venus exploration as a stepping stone for future Mars missions and is determined to make his ambitious vision a reality, envisioning a global community to support this endeavor.
