Not sure how much of a news story it is. I also want to build the ISS of the sea, I always did. Now, I don't have a famous granddad with whom I share my last name, but even if I did it's not like it's enough to build ISS of the sea. The article is written in a very dreamy tone and contains very little substantial information. It firmly assures that "Proteus will be" such and such, as if they are making the finishing…
In a world where a kpop band can get 150 million views in 24 hours I'd say visionary projects like this are a welcome addition to the internet.
When I was a kid I used to watch a TV series called SeaQuest. Pretty much the same idea, isnt it? :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQNXOscKEhY

Some of these Kpop bands do the Lords work in keeping democracy alive, so there's that.

Regarding bigotry and antisemitism, there are, of course, caveats in the article you link: Interrogé par Le Monde, Erik Orsenna confie : « C'est évidemment une lettre ignoble. Mais j'ai peur que si l'on ouvre toute la correspondance des Français de l'époque, et si l'on écoute l'enregistrement de leurs conversations, on découvrirait beaucoup d'autre antisémitisme de cette sorte. Autrement, Pétain n'aurait pu rencontre…

Why not give him a try raising enough money to accomplish it?
In todays time anything can go viral quickly.
Maybe it will be only enough for a small, limited one?
Maybe only design work?
If you support maritime exploration, why not out of general principle also this? Maybe it goes off. In the context of saving the oceans and climate change, I think it is possible, but I also don't know more facts than the article that just described the dream.
But I am not aware of a project with better planning where this could draw ressources from. So, why criticize it to the ground from the start?
Because it is not your project? Well, this one at least has news article coverage and HN front page. I would call it a good start.

Anyone else immediately thinking about Subnautica while looking at the article's teaser image? :)
