Under Water Questions

Would it be possible for intelligent life to evolve under water?

Let say for example that you had a planet that was 100% covered in water. Would it be possible for intelligent life to evolve? When I say intelligent, I don't mean as intelligent like dolphins. I mean intelligent enough to create technology advanced enough to leave their planet and explore space.
One of the requirements would probably be hands so they have the ability to learn to use tools, but unfortunately the second one is fire so they could have an industrial revolution.
Can anyone think of any possible way that an intelligent race could have an industrial revolution under water, without the need for fire?

That is a difficult one.

Short answer: No.

Long answer:

Because your definition requires technology advanced enough to leave the planet (we are barely there, ourselves), I would say it would be very unlikely (impossible is a very strong word).

I say this mainly because it is my understanding that the ability to record (i.e., read/write) information is key to the advancement of technologies necessary to accomplish what you are using as a defining argument. It is through sharing of information over the ages that we have been able to develop almost everything we have. Without reading and writing, important details are lost.

Note that it would be very difficult to develop a reading/writing technique below water, but not impossible.

Of course, hands would be nice, and a developed language would be essential (dolphins do have a decent vocabulary, but not nearly as detailed and vast as those developed by humans - as far as we can tell).

Fire is essential to our existing technologies being able to leave the Earth. Rockets depend on it. Fire under water would pose a challenge, but again, there are volcanic areas that could help on a planet like this one.

Of course, another difficulty would be leaving the planet, and taking all of that water with you so that you could breathe. Water is heavy, and would add to the weight being lifted.
