Ocean is tough. Tougher than floating cities. Which are more realistic as real habitable environment.

I vote for Stanford torus stations in various L points.

Or, naturally, Mars.

Before that, of course, there are plenty of locations on Earth hard to live in, but not as hard as underwater domes. They should try that.

I guess the people in charge haven’t read the rifters trilogy. I don’t trust any of ‘em, but at least we already have a pandemic; they probably can’t make it worse.

Will it be filled to the brim with billionaires so it can also malfunction and we are on time for the annual billionaire sacrifice to the sea gods?
