Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] x prize goes ocean

I think that a viable underwater ocean farming operation complete with an underwater habitat would be something that would exemplifiy the American spirit of free enterprize and inovation. Something that could turn a profit without the help of a controlling and overregulating oppresive government. Something that I'm going to do anyway without a grant.

Who would go in the fleets of manned submersible vehicles that map the ocean floor or take copious temperature and salinity measurements? Surface ships are readily available, but is the ocean surface covered with them? I suspect this prize will encourage the development of robotics that can complete a lot of general mapping and measurements - maybe beefed up ocean gliders.

How about items #1 and #2? Improvement of technology to further ocean exploration. How about readily available, certifiable, reasonably priced and simple manned submersible vehicles.....lots of them.....fleets of them. It's time to get man back in the sea. Not robots.
