Would it be harder to maintain a small society on the Moon

>>9161195
Moon.

Are you joking? Moon

>>9161195

We already have submarine technology. Just send a bunch down there and deliver supplies once a month with another submarine, and you've got a society.

>>9161195

What is the logistics situation for the moon society?

How deep?

>>9161216
However deep is the deepest we've ever gone.

>>9161228
Then I'm gonna go with Moon.

>>9161195
>deep sea
free oxygen, water
fish everywhere
literally just fall down from a boat to get there
>Moon
vacuum
radiation
rocks
need to escape the atmosphere to reach

ocean, no contest

I think it would probably be more difficult to BUILD one on the seafloor, assuming it's in the challenger deep, but the Moon colony would be harder to maintain.

For the seafloor colony, all you'd really need is a kind of space elevator that would bring people and supplies down from a station on the surface. But that would be a pain in the fucking ass to create, to say nothing of the habitats on the actual seafloor that would have to withstand that kind of pressure, and I'm pretty sure that technology doesn't exist yet outside of submarines. However, once you had spent the trillions of dollars constructing your facilities, you'd bee good to go.

The moon colony would have to rely entirely on supply flights from earth, unless you could somehow terraform the surface and create an atmosphere. I doubt you could provide oxygen entirely from plants via hydroponics to keep an entire society alive. But it would be far easier to construct than the ocean colony.

You don't need a seafloor elevator, you can just drop things to the bottom.

The question is why people would want to live in the deep sea. At least the moon comes with a view.

>>9161794
But you get to live with fishes and shit

>>9161794
Just dropping things from the surface is a fucking terrible idea. Have you seen the visibility in the mariana trench? You'd also have to adjust for currents changing where your shipments would land.

The seafloor elevator could also help with mass evacuation in the event of a disaster or malfunction, if you're just dropping supplies then you have to rely on submarines to get out.

Then make your shipments shaped like a bomb, with fins that home in on a sonar beacon.

>> rely on submarines
You could do what Alvin and other research subs do in emergencies, drop all the ballast.

Much easier than making a multikilometer long elevator
