This is very exciting news to me. We know so little about the unexplored oceans.

Yves Behar described the structure as “the ocean’s equivalent to the International Space Station.”

Won't that damage the ocean?

Well, we got a surprise the other day. Some private aerospace company wants to build a space port here for "vertical launches." We were all excited until we found out WHERE they want to put it. On the lake shore. Carving out a huge swatch of woods for it. About five miles to our south. Activate the NIMBY Squad!

When was the last time anyone heard about any important science that came out of the low Earth orbit space station? They spend almost all of their time keeping the station operational, almost none of what was promised ever happened.

There is exactly zero chance humans will ever travel to Mars, or even extended stays on the moon, unless we have experience with long term human habitation of space.
I doubt either you or I are informed enough to pass judgement of the nature of the science conducted at the ISS.
Wrapping up, any international effort that requires the cooperation of multiple nations to work on the advancement of human knowlege and technology has huge intangible benefits to the international community beyond scientific experiments

Ya they claim that they are working towards Mars by gaining experience with humans in space, but I have heard of nothing concrete, which almost certainly means that it is a lie, because if it were true they would be talking a lot in detail about all that they were accomplishing.
BTW: This is not exactly "in space"...the space station is in low earth orbit.

Your level of expertise on planetary science, engineering, and astrophysics is close to nil - as is mine - meaning you are not informed enough to have a valid opinion.
If you supported spending a trillion dollars on the Iraq War Disaster, then you can sit back and keep quite while we spend a few billion on the ISS

I don't have expertise in the potential solutions (engineering, astrophysics, medicine, etc.), but, the enormous amount of challenges which we need to overcome to have astronauts do more than visit Mars for a quick photo-op makes me skeptical that we can maintain their safety or benefit much from their journey.
