In support of UnderSea Camp...
"Like
space, ocean exploration is advancing and becoming more than a frontier --
it is now a harbinger of medical, energy, transportation and other scientific
breakthroughs. UnderSea Camp will provide young people with some of the necessary
tools to take advantage of all that is out there."
Dr. Buzz Aldrin, Apollo 11 Astronaut and owner,Starcraft
Enterprises Inc.
"Students
learn best through their own personal discoveries. By combining the allure
of the oceans with the excitement of exploration, UnderSea Camp creates an
environment rich in opportunities for discovery and in experiences that promote
deep understanding and lifelong learning."
Dr. Cheryl Peach, Ph.D. Birch Aquarium at Scripps Institution of Oceanography
"In
1960 all of innerspace was opened to exploration using mannedsubmersibles.
Methods are now available to bring new knowledge from any depth in the deep
blue sea. The deep-sea is one of the least explored regions of the world and
offers a wealth of undiscovered animals, cultural treasure, and secrets kept
out of reach for eons, and UnderSea Camp students are going to have a chance
to be part of that new discovery."
Dr. Andreas B. Rechnitzer, scientific director of the project, sending
man to the deepest spot in the ocean in 1960.
