Richard Dolan on Underground & Undersea Bases (Hidden in Plain Sight - Richard Sauder) Part 5
Analysis Summary
Summary
The speaker discusses advanced tunneling technology and its potential applications. They mention a 1968 study from the Stanford Research Institute that proposed the construction of 30 manned bases beneath the ocean floor. The study stated that this was technically and economically feasible, estimating a cost of 2.7 billion dollars. The speaker also references illustrations by Walter Kirchner, an illustrator for the U.S. Navy, who depicted plans for these undersea bases. Kirchner's work included designs for facilities that could house submarines and allow for high-profile visitors to view underwater activities. The speaker does not confirm whether these bases were actually built, but emphasizes the feasibility of the plans presented in the study.
