>>158563It is a goddamn mystery to me why Straya doesn't have something like Aquarius Reef Base on their Great Barrier Reef. It's already proven the utility of habitats for long term reef studies, and they have the world's biggest and most diverse.
We have a space station the size of a football field that does fuck all in the way of useful science and a sealab the size of just the Destiny module from the ISS that does most of the coral science in the world. And we defunded it so now it's on life support from some random university. Makes my blood boil. For the price of the ISS we could have a whole city down there.
