Nah, you were trying to shit on something and point out flaws with a hypothetical product wihout even bothering to read about it. You got called out on talking shite - don't take the hump.

A moon pool or a regular one?

Just a regular one, but I imagine they'll add one if you ask for it.

That just means you're commenting on something without knowing anything about it, and so far everything you've commented has been incorrect?

It comes with two boats, jetskis, a helipad, and the ability to surface. You're not trapped in a hotel with no windows. It's not pitch black. You have ways to leave. It would have taken less time to learn this by reading the article than it would have taken to type this bollocks.

Not pitch black until > 800m.

Not so. You should really look at the info before commenting lol.

"It's got no windows!" - there are windows pretty clearly visible in the renders.

"There's no light down there!" - it tops out at 250m, light reaches about 800m.

It has windows.

Clarification: the bogus AI images they've got have windows in the viewing gallery. It's all bullshit though - it features the images from SAFE that are allso bullshit but keep popping up in various articles, notably* the MRI room.

"I have to get over this some time, why not now?"

~ Louis Wu, from Ringworld, written by Larry Niven.

"Because I'm not ready" is also a valid answer, but it gets your brain moving towards the goal I find.

All these authors and no one has mentioned the Known Space series by Larry Niven!

Personally I would start with Protector, then Crashlander, then head into Ringworld and the rest.

It's a little dated in places and he's not great at writing women, but it's got some good heavy sci-fi ideas in. The Ringworld megastructure is a fun thing to contemplate.
