Generally, a very hostile and unforgiving environment that has a very high kill ratio.

not for an rov.

Quite frankly because there's not much private funding for it and it has no foreseeable benefit for military funding.

I feel like having military control of the ocean would be extremely beneficial for more secrecy and missile locations.

Well, write up a strategic report on its benefits and pitch it to the appropriations committee. That's pretty much how space exploration got started.

Most likely. But what was the military benefit of going to the moon?

Because it was the Cold War and Russia wanted to. That was the biggest motivator for the whole thing.

heh. you gotta miss the simplicity of the cold war.

Simple really once you think about it. Nothing gets done without money, and it's not exactly profitable.

It's wet, cold, dark and massive PSI pressure.

It's just hard to believe nobody has taken advantage of this.

What do you mean? It's literally full of trash and oil. Also; hydrogen bomb tests, submarine warfare, fuckin' whale oil, all the fish we have eaten collectively as a race... We have always exploited the ocean.

So you're saying that it has been done already and we can all see it on Google? Good. Case closed.

Hahahaha. Those aren't actually mapped. They're just guesses.

There is no money there.

Ah, but there might be. What about raw materials and metals? We could also build stronger/more compact technologies that could be applied in other fields such as space exploration. Studying the new and odd kinds of life could be beneficial to the medical industry. I could probably go on for awhile.

this might be the single dumbest discussion i have ever seen take place in conspiracy.

I would certainly love to see your thought provoking questions :)

There have been multiple recorded instances of USOs (unidentified submerged objects).....ALIENS

multiple recorded instances

Where's the record?

^{i.e. Source? Not that I don't believe you, I'm just curious what specifically you're referring to.}

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shag_Harbour_UFO_incident

I've heard that it also left the waters about a week later, but some people say(including this link) a similar looking ship was seen in the skys in that area a week later too.

Also, I understand that you are looking for accounts of USO's, and that this is recorded as a UFO, but I think that in this case, considering there are no official documents left, that this can be considered as both or the same.

We can go to the fucking moon but not too deep into water.

My thoughts exactly!

There are no sharks on the moon.

Guys, I'm pretty sure he is right..

On the moon, there is zero atmosphere to deal with. A pressurized and air tight tin can is all you really need (grossly simplified, ofc).

On the sea bed, you have to deal with ~11,000 psi (mean sea level atmospheric pressure is roughly 15 psi).

It's a hell of a lot harder to go all the way down and than up.

ya gotta not see the underway alien bases

I wouldn't be surprised if there are some D.U.M.B.S are hidden in the ocean but this goes well above anything you can find information about in the public domain.

Deep sea exploration is ridiculously impractical.

With current technologies, yes. Doesn't mean we should count out the concept. Too many benefits left undiscovered.

What technologies may we have that can scan the ocean floor in an efficient and timely manner, which would make this suggestion even remotely possible?

I think you misread the comment.

EDIT: sorry I forgot my original statement in OP. I meant that more towards the public doesn't have access to the technology, but perhaps others do? Hence posting in /r/conspiracy

I doubt sufficient technology will ever be created anytime soon. The best we know we have is sonar, and that only works at short range.

Well that's a fantastic attitude!

What relevance or impact does my attitude have on the future of exploration technologies?

These technologies will or will not come to exist independent of whether I think they will.

OP, calm down.

Because if everyone had your attitude, we would be nowhere.

It's a good thing everyone doesn't have my attitude, then.

I'm not allowed to be a pessimist in regards to some things now?

You heard it here first: Because the aliens reside there.

Because those aliens working with the biggest and richest governments warned them not to.

[PROOF]

I'm like 99.98% of posters here; no proof!

You're an NSA eavesdropper who posted that so if you got replies form people agreeing with you, you'd know who to put on the watchlist.

Nice try.

You sure earned your badge to be here, comrade.
