You're protected from small meteorites, at least.

And it's a great place to hide.

Electromagnetic waves don't travel far in water.

So you can't see far, you can't detect things with electromagnetism very well, which is why we use sonar, right?

So it's a great place to hide.

So there's every reason to go to the water.

Yeah.

Well, that's the other thing.

So you only have a couple of choices, right?

So if you're going to go to colonize another star system, you've got to carry everything you need to do it with you.

So already the traveling is hard.

It's going to be hard for anybody.

But bringing everything you need to build up a base or some kind of settlement is going to be extra difficult.

So you really have a few options.

And water worlds we now know are relatively common.

We have several water worlds in our solar system.

Most of them are frozen moons, icy surfaces.

But there's oceans underneath, right?

So you can either plan to colonize, you can either just plan to stay in your spaceships, right?

We're just gonna live in our spaceships.
