Scientists are now itching to get into the cockpit and “fly” far beneath the waves to study places in the deep ocean that have never been seen by human eyes. This is no ordinary submersible and the chance to explore the ocean’s depths and keep up with the animals that live there is unprecedented. Imagine diving along with a pod of Humpback whales or zooming through a school of sharks or maybe being the first person to see a Giant Squid in its natural environment! Up! Up! And away! Or um… Down! Down! And away!

There is still much to be learned here at home. I found this to be really interesting and agree with the point that we should be exploring our own oceans just as much as we try to explore space.

Of course, water acts like air, only it is denser. I felt some of the same excitment watching Graham's underwater flight as I did watching the NASA space flights in the 1960s and 1970s. Thanks for the ride! Wow, that was really fantastic! Of course, water acts like air, only it is denser.
