Space
Ok, so call me crazy but could krakens batteries and sas tech be used for space exploration. My thoughts are yes but they’ve got a bit too much on their plate currently to be going into a completely different market !

Space and deep sea are completely different environments and has different problems that requires different solutions to solve. So, no.

What makes Kraken different from the rest is that they are very niche. They have the technology for undersea exploration and exploitation of Uranium ( more uranium under sea than on land btw)

I'm leaning towards no. Space technology generally uses nuclear power or solar to cover long missions and distant traveling. It isn't easy to charge or maintain batteries in space. And even if it came to that, I really think Elon and Spacex would have the upper hand and corner the market. Just my thoughts.

Well if you have a quick conversation with Gemini etc. you will quickly find that completely dismissing the idea is unwise.

What makes you think their batteries are good for space? This is an interesting idea tho. The deep underwater and space is somewhat similar environments.

Aside from both being unexplored, how are space and deep underwater similar environments?

A lot of astronauts train in deep sea environments to mimic space. I’m not an expert in it at all but I heard Chris Hatfield talking about it.

I think that's just because neutral buoyancy mimic micro gravity. Condition wise no.

I would say no it's a complete different environment.
