Forever may it remain that way. And may God bless these now-found souls.

Why are we ignoring the oceans? Why does NASA spend in one year what NOAA will spend in 1600 years? Why are we looking up? Why are we afraid of the ocean?

NASA's annual budget for space exploration could fund NOAA's budget for ocean exploration for 1600 years.

Fifty percent of the United States of America is underneath the ocean. And we have better maps of Mars than those areas.

My final question: Why are we not looking at moving out onto the sea? Why do we have programs to build a habitation on Mars and we have programs to look at colonizing the Moon but we do not have a program looking at how we colonize our own planet, and the technology is at hand!

The deep sea is the largest museum on earth, it contains more history than all the museums on land combined, and yet we're only now penetrating it.
