Thanks for the correction! I meant deep web but got the both mixed up.

It’s because the ship wasn’t made to withstand the level of gravity on Adrian. It would have taken longer to leave the atmosphere had they been lower in the planet. The ship would have been crushed. Adrian is a gas giant just like Venus is. Also The Taumoeba only lived in a specific atmospheric band where the temperature and pressure allowed them to breed.

I’ve heard of a lot of scientists using the dark web just to access research articles “illegally” lol
