Everyone loves to fly, and flying underwater is even better than flying in air because there are things around you.
From Graham Hawkes
Space exploration promised us alien life, lucrative planetary mining, and fabulous lunar colonies. News flash, ladies and gents: Space is nearly empty. It's a sterile vacuum, filled mostly with the junk we put up there.
Pressure hulls collapse at the speed of sound. Once that starts, you're inside your own little imploding atomic bomb, and you're gone.
There's something just magical about flight. Period.
'Earth' is a silly name for this planet.
The Deep Flight Challenger technology is a game-changer for ocean exploration.
Scientists are always the ones who head into the ocean, but I want to take writers and politicians, people who can convey the beauty that is there and perhaps do something to take care of it.
One time on a dive, I wound up drifting up in darkness surrounded by billions of photoluminescent creatures. It was a religious experience, one only a poet could do justice to.
With the super-wealthy, I think what a lot of them want isn't things, it's experiences. Preferably ones that few people can have.
The ocean is this beautiful, unexplored place. Why on Earth everyone isn't down there, I don't know.
