This episode explores the history and evolution of manned underwater habitats, structures designed to support human life beneath the sea. It begins by outlining early pioneering projects from the 1960s and 1970s, such as Conshelf and SEALAB, which focused on feasibility, military readiness, and scientific research. The text then discusses the continuation of research and niche applications from the 1980s and 1990s, highlighting facilities like MarineLab and the transformation of a research station into Jules’ Undersea Lodge. Finally, it addresses modern applications exemplified by the Aquarius Reef Base, emphasizing its role in environmental studies and astronaut training, before examining conceptual future habitats like SeaOrbiter and Project Proteus, envisioning potential uses for climate science, deep-space training, and even permanent underwater colonies.
