This is very exciting news to me. We know so little about the unexplored oceans.

Yves Behar described the structure as “the ocean’s equivalent to the International Space Station.”

Sounds even more useless than the near Earth orbit space station....I need to hear concrete benefits other that a few people will have a cool time living underwater....will have stories to tell.

It at least needs to be mobile.

The computer you are so casually using to bitch about tech was due, in part, due to the Apollo program along with several other spinoffs. That's a concrete benefit now which wasn't seen in 1965. That's the funny thing about R&D, it's like Forrest Gump's box of chocolates. Remember how the microwave oven came to be?

I want/need to be hearing what we have gotten for the almost $200 billion we have invested in the ISS, and what exactly we should get for this investment should we do it...as well as how much it should cost, understanding that cost estimates tend to be wildly not correct because our experts tend to suck.

1) I was a D from 1982 till 1987, when I had to leave because of the stench on the Left of "Dont talk about that, THAT would not be productive!".

2) I have been claiming to be a socialist for two decades.

Won't that damage the ocean?

I can’t imagine Costeau being involved in anything that would damage the ocean, but it’s a good question.

Well, we got a surprise the other day. Some private aerospace company wants to build a space port here for "vertical launches." We were all excited until we found out WHERE they want to put it. On the lake shore. Carving out a huge swatch of woods for it. About five miles to our south. Activate the NIMBY Squad!

Oh, no! I can’t imagine the impact.

Holy smoke - extraordinary!

His photos are beautiful. They have no children and take dive trips all over the world. His cameras and bulldogs are his babies.
