If life evolves on a planet with only oceans, no surface, imagine how much longer it would take to discover rockets that can leave the planet.

Like if there was no surface on earth, and only fish, there must be some very significant reason for advanced fish to even want to leave the water, let alone the atmosphere

I highly recommend reading Adrian Tchaikovsky's Children of Time series which explores this a bit.

I listened to the series, I enjoyed it a lot.
