There's cool science stuff, and slightly less cool resource extraction stuff to do in outer space, worst case, you can enjoy some amazing views of various celestial bodies. I've lived underwater, it sucks, there's nothing to do or really see, a domed underwater city wouldn't help with resource extraction at all, there's no point and almost no one would voluntarily live there.

And keeping the ocean out is harder than keeping air in. Even a pretty shallow dome would have to deal with tons of water pressure.

Not that I see much point in either option. A moonbase could make fuel but we really don't have the tech to go anywhere with it reasonably

so it turns out structures designed for high pressure environments are basically the opposite of what you would want in a low pressure environment. crazy stuff!

I absolutely can't imagine that he enjoys watching sports. The notion of him watching people doing a thing and not letting him claim credit for it must be like nails down a chalkboard for him. I'm suprised he didn't turn up dressed as Taylor Swift.

I think he does have one; those are absolutely not the sort of chairs you'd get if you paid for Regular People Seats.

Usually private boxes at football games will have an indoor area and then a small balcony of seats out front, if you want to do something silly like actually watch the game.

In regards to views of celestial bodies as it pertains to Mars, it has pretty much the same night sky as Earth. Arguably worse since its moons are small, weird shaped lumps and its stars don't twinkle. I don't believe the resources it offers are important or easily transportable enough to justify it economically either. You'd basically set up there for the same reason you'd make an underwater city - it's cool enough to be a trope in fiction.

These colonisation plans really only make sense in a post scarcity society as vanity projects to show off how advanced they are.

(This is a terrible story, I'm not rooting for the teller or his dad, by the by.) Someone told me that they used to play a team sport with/against current newly-minted President of the Republic -electee Alexander Stubb's son, and his dad (or maybe it was someone else's dad) promised him 5€ every time he pushed Stubb's son down during the game, to see if Stubb would notice. He never did because he was always busy on the computre or phone or with guests. Just showing up to be seen, not to watch. (He would've been a cabinet minister, MEP, or MP back then, depending on when it happened exactly.) I did ask how much money the guy made but I was drunk and don't remember.

I am not advocating for exoplanetary colonies here, science stations, like McMurdo station*, would be neat. I'd go hang out in space for a year, no problem, I would not lock myself in a dark, dank, underwater dome that has a similar risk of sudden death to a space station.

Dirt is about the only place where it's feasible/enjoyable to live for long periods of time.
