It&#x27;s going to happen eventually. Humans will take over and destroy&#x2F;transform the sea once we have exhausted the space and resources on land. The best we can do is delay it and try to minimize the impact. We&#x27;re currently at the hunter&#x2F;gatherer phase there, but eventually we will mine it more intensively, farm it, &#x27;develop&#x27; it and live on&#x2F;in it. That&#x27;s why Elon Musk&#x27;s Mars ambition is so misguided in my view. We&#x27;ll be living on&#x2F;in the sea long before settling on Mars becomes feasible.
