The last two articles in this series covered Conshelf 1 and 2, so of course now I have to move on to the final habitat project ever undertaken by Jacques Cousteau. That's right bitches...

I'm doing two this week because I've lost some Patrons, and I worry maybe I'm not engaging frequently enough. I'd rather only do one of these per week, spaced out between the videos, but let me kno...

Hopefully this will placate some of the commenters angry at me under the misapprehension that the hamsters live underwater full time. They don't. They get plenty of time on land in more spacious...
