So recently I had a look at the sea dragon designs and realized it is probably the one and only rocket designed to launch directly from the sea without any sort of external launch platform. That makes me wonder, what would space craft designed by an alien race living in a world that has no dry landmass be like? They would need to launch things directly from the water surface. Furthermore, since they are from an aquatic world, it is likely they will also breath in liquid as well, and instead of breathable air tanks, they would need to use water tanks, which add much more mass to their space craft design, and that may drastically change the way they operate them. In short, the question is: What are some possible space craft designs for an aquatic alien race, given: a) their world has no dry landmass b) they breathe liquid What kind of liquid they breath,what kind of anatomy they have, what their culture/society/technology is like, and what the size/composition of their world will be is up to your imagination.- 82 replies

So since my other thread got a lot of discussion about how aquatic alien came to be, and how they are able to develop technology, which I am interested in, but since it is off topic for that thread (which concerned more on their spacecraft design than how they get those spacecraft), I decide to make this thread. The main topic of this thread then, is to imagine possible scenarios where aliens from an aquatic world evolved to be intelligent and develop the technology to create space craft. Conditions are simple: 1. Their world has no dry land mass 2. The alien will likely, at least in the beginning of their evolution, breath in liquid The composition of their world, their star system, the ecology, and so on, will be left to your imagination. What are the conditions required for intelligent aquatic life capable of space tech? Let's imagine.
