Re: Colonizing the planet "Ocean"

That plastic boat is a rather interesting use for trash.  At least they never have to worry about it rusting.  It looks like it's getting the job done just fine.

Re: Colonizing the planet "Ocean"

Environmentalists removed more than 40 tons of trash from the Pacific -- and it barely made a dent in a cleanup mission was the "largest and most successful ocean cleanup to date" in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.

The patch, between Hawaii and California, is the biggest concentration of floating debris in the world.

Using satellite and drone technology, the crew removed trash including detergent bottles, plastic furniture and children's toys. They also collected fishing gear called "ghost nets," with one weighing 5 tons and another weighing 8 tons. "Ghost nets" are massive nets of nylon or polypropylene that drift and accumulate plastic debris.

It sure is hard to keep something good when others are trashing it.
Beverage Companies Embreace Recycling Until It Cost Them

From the image picking of materials, I would say that the one stream concept is the issue for what can be used as its got to be seperated for the types in order to use the correct process on the resource.

The British helped build Principality of Sealand, an island Palm Jumeirah was built in the islamic monarchy of Dubai, an artificial island or man-made island is an island that has been constructed by people rather than formed by natural means, Japan built an Airport on a fake island, Northstar Island was built near Alaska to help drill for oil, China as been building artificial land in the sea now the site of a military barracks, lookout tower and sites for Chinese military aircraft.

A city will one day get built under the sea? NEEMO, is a NASA testing mission that sends groups of astronauts, engineers and scientists to live an underwater laboratory, the world's only undersea research station.

They now have international astronaust from Canada, JAXA, ESA studying such underwater research, it seems like we are investing in manned colonisation of the sea floor. Human spaceflight experiment now take place in these controlled life supports systems.

Re: Colonizing the planet "Ocean"

The dead zone is also meantion in this topic. Earths ocean explore why not colonized?

This dead zone is full of plastics and the machine which was built to collect it did not work.

The search engine does have some limitations for finding topics and even posts. When I look for topics that I created I get just 7 pages but the one in this post does not show up...
