Scientists with the Norwegian Orca Survey and Orca Channel have documented, for the first time and in astounding detail, the birth of an orca and the newborn's first hour.
All the more reason why we need to conquer the oceans with underwater bases waaaaaay before we try to conquer Mars. If we can’t build an underwater base, we are completely and utterly hopeless towards the goal of living on any sort of space-bound entity.
I’m going to go ahead and say those are different goals.
Also, we’ve had underwater bases, we just haven’t continued to man them, there just wasn’t the will to continue funding it. Sealab
We could conquer the oceans, we just aren’t interested enough. We could conquer space too, we just aren’t interested enough. We are humans, the ultimate badasses of this galaxy; as soon as enough of us are in favor of doing something, i.e. willing to pay for something, we can do it. No exceptions.
How is it possible that this is the first orca birth in the wild that we’ve witnessed? Are they secretive when doing it?
They live in the ocean, we don’t.
We’ve been looking at the ocean a whole lot, though.
I guess the oceans really really big. We haven’t seen great whites give birth either
That’s because they lay eggs
We’ve discovered more about outer space than our own waterways, TBF. By orders of magnitude, even.
I’m not sure that’s accurate. For instance, we see ocean whales all the time, we’ve never seen even one space whale. How can you explain that?
Yeah but tide goes out tide comes in, every day, never a miscommunication and you cant explain that

You do realize the physical challenges inherent in both, and that the former environment is far more difficult than the latter to prepare for, yes? 😅
