@Lord_Scorpion34 “ Only about 5% of the ocean floor has been mapped/explored tho” years ago this was true. Recent years have made leaps in mapping. Exploring however is not done, since it’s a costly endeavor and most oceanographers and titles linked to them want to explore themselves instead of droning an unmanned pod/sub to those depths. A lil can be read here:
https://en.unesco.org/news/nearly-fifth-worlds-ocean-floor-now-mappedExploration to the deepest part of the known ocean; Challenger Deep costs several hundreds of thousands going upto millions just to plan and execute it and thats just for reconnaissance. If they find something they’ll want to go back and study that something which’ll cost more and the funding’s just not there. Most who go deep sea exploring do it out of own pocket and that’s how some of the ocean’s bed stuff was discovered.
I think reasons above are why it hasn’t been explored thoroughly. Space on the other hand is ‘exotic’ and for mankind to survive there’s a notion to look beyond the stars which is why funding & projects go hand in hand and even tho it costs alot, there’s an unmeasurable amount of data to be had + amateur astronomers can also partake in it.
I have no doubt tho that there might be something scary on the sea bottom tho xD.
