So many idioms.

Yes. As an idea. In reality? No. Not in our life time. The resources and technology are, literally, planetary in necessity.

Possibility in theory is the same thing as an idea. So, as an idea, it holds water. We lack the technology however, and will for a while. There is also a safety issue, and that in and of itself will keep us from terraforming the longest.

This is great! Thanks for doing this AMA. I am currently a Personal Trainer and Manager and I have been looking to move into another career. I love the ocean and have been trying to save up for my diving certs for the passed year. I am 22, 23 in August so I don't want to waste anymore time. I live in CA if that's noteworthy. I have a few questions:

  • What's the base starting pay and can you increase this?

  • How do you become a commercial diver? Just get all the required certifications?

  • What does a commercial diver do specifically? Or, is it a broad term meaning that you pick and choose the specific type of work to do? For example, do you choose to be a CD then move into UW Welding?

  • Do the jobs you do as a CD have a lot of variance in pay? If so, what are the lowest paid jobs and highest?

  • Is this career possible without a college degree or military background?

  • What are your typical hours? Is it a 6month/year job like a lot of Oil jobs, is more every few months as in construction, or is it 9-5?

  • If you had any words of wisdom for a new person seeking this field as a career choice, what would they be?

  • Ultimately, is your family happy with your choice of career? I am engaged so this would be important to me.
