Salve amigas e amigos deste nosso blog dedicado à divina MAR, ao inteligente BARCO À VELA e ao sagrado MEIO AMBIENTE.

Não sei vocês se lembram, mas em 24/2/2011, há pouco mais de um ano atrás, eu publiquei este

Já pensou em viver em "Atlantica", a nova Atlântida?

- Lembraram?

- Pois bem acabo de voltar ao site deste revolucionário projeto e constatei que faltam 711 dias para o início de sua realização.

- Mas que tal lermos agora a biografia de seu criador?

(born 1951) is an American bioengineer, explorer, and author.


Career


Dennis Chamberland, an aquanaut and Mission Commander for seven NASA underwater missions, designed and built the
Scott Carpenter Space Analog Station underwater habitat. Chamberland was elected a Fellow of the New York Explorers Club in 1991.
At the turn of the 21st century, Chamberland had published nearly 100 articles and reference works, mostly dealing with scientific and technical issues. In 1986, Chamberland published a landmark cover story on Genetic Engineering in Christianity Today magazine. Chamberland also published an in-depth interview with General William Westmoreland in the U.S. Naval Institute Proceedings that lent a critical insight on the United States' involvement in the Vietnam War. He began writing books and novels in 1994.
Dennis Chamberland had maintained a life long interest in the human colonization of the undersea regions of the earth. He calls these regions “Aquatica” and its permanent human citizens “Aquaticans”. Chamberland released a book titled, “Undersea Colonies” in 2007 in which he described the imminent permanent human colonization of the seas.
Dennis Chamberland has made three attempts at this process, the first of which began in 1972 while he was a college student at Oklahoma State University. It was his attempt to begin the undersea settlement process beneath Tenkiller Ferry Lake in eastern Oklahoma. His interest continued and he began another serious attempt in 1991, forming a corporate venture called the “League of the New Worlds”. Combining his interest in space and ocean explorations, he reasoned that the technologies were in many ways twin technologies. Holding the position as a NASA Life Scientist and developer of Advanced Space Life Support Systems based on Controlled Ecological Life Support Systems for the space agency, he was able to view the two technologies developing simultaneously for all off-planet habitation pursuits.
In 1994, Dennis Chamberland, now a certified aquanaut, planted and harvested the first agricultural crop in a manned habitat on the sea floor off Key Largo. This NASA experiment was titled the OCEAN Project. In two years, Dennis Chamberland had designed and built the... WIKIPEDIA
