00:00If you've ever thought, what if I lived really, really deep underwater?

00:04That's what the U.S. Navy did here.

00:06It was called Sea Lab, and to live down there,

00:08the aquanauts had to breathe air with a lot of helium.

00:12Which makes you sound like this.

00:13They got a call from the president, and it sounded like this.

00:16Do you read the order?

00:17Let's say, Mr. President, that we're not in prayer.

00:21It was part of basically an underwater space race.

00:24But the project got shut down because the deep ocean is harder than space in some ways.

00:29In space, the pressure is effectively zero.

00:31A structure doesn't have to resist external forces.

00:34In the deep ocean, though, the pressure goes up by the weight of a whole atmosphere every 10 meters.

00:38So there's a risk of...

00:40It's dangerous.

00:42But someone did break the record for living underwater for 120 days.

00:45We're making more videos about the deep ocean, so subscribe.
