Guillermo Sonlein said that he sees people living in the atmosphere of the second planet from the Sun, and he has real proposals to achieve this goal.

Sonlein said this in reference to the recent Titan disaster, which drew international attention to his former company's lax security measures and forced OceanGate to suspend all commercial and exploration operations.

Tragedy with an underwater bathyscaphe

Zohnlein's previous venture, OceanGate, made global news in June as the rescue operation unfolded amid one of history's greatest ocean disasters - a dramatic race against time.

Recall that on June 18, the submersible "Titan" began its descent to the wreckage of the "Titanic" off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada. An hour and 45 minutes later, the submersible lost contact with its support ship. The submersible exploded due to external water pressure acting on it at a depth necessary to reach the Titanic.

The remains of the bathyscaphe "Titan" were found 200 meters from the bow of the "Titanic" on June 22. All five people who were in the bathyscaphe died.

The expedition included British explorer Hamish Harding, French dive pilot Paul-Henry Nargeole, and CEO and founder of OceanGate Expeditions, Stockton Rush. Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood and his son Suleiman Dawood were also on board.

The Titan disaster does not interfere with research

Sonlein's venture, Humans2Venus, aims to house 1000 people in a flying colony in Venus's atmosphere. Sonlein said he wouldn't let the Titan disaster discourage him from pushing the boundaries of research.

“Forget OceanGate. Forget the Titan. Forget Stockton. Humanity may be on the cusp of a big breakthrough and we need to take advantage of it,” said Sonlein, who left OceanGate in 2013.
