"Heaven’sgate will be waiting": Netizens react as OceanGate's cofounder shares his idea of sending 1000 humans to Venus 

OceanGate’s co-founder, Guillermo Söhnlein, shocked the masses after reports started circulating about the businessman wanting to send 1,000 humans to Venus by 2050. Insider reported that OceanGate’s founded claimed that “it is not as crazy as it seems,” adding:

"I think it is less aspirational than putting a million people on the Martian surface by 2050.”

His statements, following the submersible tragedy, have sent shockwaves on social media, as people continue to talk about the disaster. However, Guillermo Söhnlein seems positive about his thoughts of taking people to Venue, as he shared more details about his vision:

"I think I've been driven to help make humanity a multi-planet species since I was 11 years old, I had this recurring dream of being the commander of the first Martian colony."

However, the idea of sending people to the hottest planet in the solar system did not sit well with netizens, as Venus is known to be filled with greenhouse gases. Furthermore, many people also suggested that the temperature of the planet is close to 475°C. Yet, Guillermo Söhnlein tried to convince the world by claiming that the company would be designing a space station to withstand these effects.

While the OceanGate co-founder might think that the idea is “doable,” netizens are not convinced, and they shared their reactions to the same. One social media user hilariously tweeted and said that "Heaven’sgate will be waiting" for the "champ."
