News Deep exploration

See Robot sub reaches deepest ocean .
I wonder if at some point Orbiter may simulate seas.
I presume that exploration of Titan may involve sub exploration of methane seas.
Also I presume Venus exploration would involve a floating base with a sub to enter the dense layers.

On a side note, I would like Venus to have haze, limited visibility.
Is there a way to do that?

Are you talking about water simulation for Orbiter?

How about using a complicated atmospheric model - all the properties of sea water - and then "standard" earth atmospheric properties above the sea. Then, to visualise it, a blue cloud layer could be used and a module that gives everything a blue tint if the camera is below a certain altitude.

OVP is taking care of haze, I think.

That sounds like a good concept. It would make ditching in the ocean, as well as recovery, a lot more challenging and fun

and i would prevent some1 to land on seas (like my brother)
