I love that I’ve been to one of these… in 2013 I was lucky enough to be the first tourist to touch the Great Wall of Vietnam at the end of Hang Son Doong. On the first trial tour Ho Kanh went with us to the entrance and Howard and Deb Limbert from the British caving expedition that initially explored the cave led us in. It was all pretty humbling when Howard told us that more people had been to the surface of the moon. And I was only there out of sheer dumb luck.

@@kosmosXcannon I was traveling in Vietnam by motor scooter in 2013 and went to Son Trach village, which is the gateway to Phong Nha Ke Bang National Park… while there I happened to meet Ben, an Australian who owns a farmestay there with his Vietnamese family… Ben and I hit it off and he introduced me to Howard Limbert from the British cavers who were associated with Oxalis, the locally owned company that was working with the government to start eco tours into the cave, and it turned out I’d arrived at exactly the right time and there was one space left. I’m lucky in some very, very strange ways. More importantly not long after coming out of the cave I met my now wife, which was way, way luckier!

Another one is the Devil's Hole cave system and underground lake.

The plan was ultimately cancelled by local government.

I've often wondered why researchers haven't sent down auxiliary lighting set-ups that go down with them but stay about 100-200 meters away so that they can see through the water beyond what their onboard lights can! I think it would be... illuminating!

[@djgeorgetsagkadopoulos]

1) You would need HUGE lights if you were to leave them 100meters away. Light does not travel that far in water as on air. 2) You should also pray that you are lucky and the waters are crystal clear, free of any floating particles. Otherwise it would be as good as lighting a big flashlight in a dense fog.. It could make things worse!

I loved this video. I am fascinated by caves and ocean exploration especially. I have often wondered if the sea creatures drawn on old maps were not as exaggerated as modern people would think.

@@australien6611 manganese nodules are one of the main interests, they form over millions of years but now companies want to vacuum them off the sea floor and destroy thousands of square kilometers of ocean floor.

[@Cara-39]

Look up Seabed 2030 for more info on the ongoing project to map 100% of the sea floor by 2030; so far 25% has been completed. Manganese nodule mining on an industrial scale is actually impossible as we don't have the technology or machinery capable to do so now, the cost is prohibitive and the mining processes themselves have not been developed.

The main theory why we don’t see large animals on land is that we used to, but they all got killed by a small mega predator called the Homo Saipan. Despite their relatively small size, those things are deadly predators.

Indeed. The Homo Sapian is also _incredibly_ invasive, which is why most of the large land animal species extant today are on the African continent (and thus evolved alongside them to deal with their nonsense).

And some of us may not have been born too early for space exploration. With upcoming life extension technologies, and what appears to be genuine effort to get back to the Moon and to get to Mars and other places of interest in the Solar System, I am fairly confident some people alive today will see some specular things in space.

We may be born too late to explore the Earth and born too early to explore the Universe, but we are born at just the right time to see and contribute to a technological explosion of ever increasing faster releases of new tech, both general and medical, with the latter being especially exciting - especially for todays youth. Todays youth have the unique potential of, if we do our part to contribute to the development, living longer than ever before and even once dying, we may be transferred to another device until it becomes possible to move us to a new body. It sounds incredibly SciFi, but a lot of this technology will be achieved using AI to calculate all the possible combinations and find the solutions that are most likely to work. That alone shaves off decades of manual experiments, allowing tech to grow even faster. We may never get to explore the stars, but we get to experience and contribute to all the technology required to do so. Without us, the future explorers would be land locked on a dying Earth.
