Worlds oldest shipwreck

How the world's deepest shipwreck was found – BBC Future

This is a really interesting article from the BBC Futures website, US navy ship sunk during a battle with the Japanese navy during WWII has been found deep in the Ocean 70+ years after it was lost at sea.

As the article suggests 'We know more about outer space than the Oceans', however, there is another article following on from this on how NASA are using what we are learning about deep sea exploration and using that to help with space exploration. If you scroll down the page then you should find:-

Why Nasa is exploring the deepest oceans on Earth

Which gives more information, it shows how an interest or experience in what would seem very different, can be applied elsewhere, so an Oceanographer for example can work with NASA to help explore planetary systems.

So perhaps some very exciting things to come in the future.
