The most exciting news is that they made several extremely deep dives in quick succession, advancing the way to a future of regular deep sea exploration. Congrats to the team!
- mc32 7y agoDo you think this has the potential to result technologies allowing the exploitation (extraction) of deep sea natural resources (i.e. minerals and metals)? It seems people are more excited by exploiting the Moon for resources, but deep sea should be more economical once extraction tech is figured out.
- Konnstann 7y agoI'd rather exploit the moon, to the best of my knowledge nothing lives there, and I doubt we'd make a large enough dent to affect tides or other moon-related events.
- steve_adams_86 7y agoPeople thought we couldn't make a dent in the ocean's resources too. My gut tells me there'll always be some sort of catch...
- mc32 7y agoThe Moon is nice, but for Earth usage, extracting on the Moon seems like it would be more energy expensive than on Earth, no?
- whoopdedo 7y agoHas anyone made a good guess at what the true purpose of these dives is? I'm not unconvinced this isn't another expedition in the line of Ballard or Glomar Explorer.
