Why is it that we are constantly exploring space, but it seems that we aren't exploring our own oceans? Imagine what's down there... I know it's very expensive to build anything to would be able to get to the bottom of the ocean, and that manned submersibles can't reach great depths yet, but wouldn't you think we'd be trying to find more out about our own planet? nothing against space exploration.. I'm a fan of it, but can't help but wonder why.

 

'cause we know we're raping our planet and we need to find somewhere to go.

 

there's fishes and big squid.....
i see alot of TV shows that go down as far as they can in the water....anyone know the exact budget?

 

i think you just hear less about deep sea exploration than space exploration, though i would agree we do spend more money on space than deep see.

 

I know the unmanned stuff costs a couple hunderd thousand everytime they go down....

 

Because we're scared of the squids down there? Didn't one just wash up on a shore that weighed like 600 tons or whatnot? Yikes...

 

did any of you guys read sphere? :nervous:

 

im really into deeep sea stuff. like vents and ish. . space is also cool.

 

We could be afraid of weird stuff happening like in The Abyss.

 

did you just watch some pbs station? :exnbp:
