RE: [PSUBS-MAILIST] low cost glass bubble - popular science July 66'



On second look, it was an acrylic dome that the USNA used for a test vehicle and later the habitat.

This particular bubble at the US Naval Academy was later installed below their underwater habitat as an observatory.  The habitat was later acquired by the firm that has the Jules habitat in the Keys was used early on to support college and scientific research programs to develop experience that was later used to operate the refurbished larger habitat.  I trained the first college students that stayed in the habitat with a bubble for 3 days in the Keys.
