Comments on: Images: Floating lab to monitor oceans

The Sea Orbiter is expected to follow the currents and keep tabs on sea life and climates.

It is a beautiful and practical design. But perhaps suggesting
some military use might get them built faster, and in larger
numbers. Call it a stealth missle carrier platform with added
scientists "to fool curious locals."

non for profit

private initiative private financing , there is the challenge
design reminds you of military? then the army have great artists

It looks....

kind of like the structures on Kamino from Star Wars II: Attack of the Clones.

I love space and sea exploration, and I wish that more capital and energy would go toward them.

Where do I sign up?

This is beautiful, efficient, and non-intrusive to the environment.

I say full steam ahead.

Where Do I Sign Up?

I totally for this little adventure, and wish there was a way I could
apply for the web department onBoard. - Water has got to be my
second nature, But like alot of folks these days, we do what we do
to get by.. But the idea sounds great.

[Christopher Hall]

I hear that!

Upon thinking about it, though, I've come up with some questions.
::How are supplies handled/delivered?
::How about rough seas? The sky isn't always that blue, you know?
::Is the upper deck submersible?

I think there are some basic engineering design issues they will have to clear up, but all in all it's a fantastic idea.

Ocean-going Brancusi

Beautiful as sculpture, and apparently stable, but will it be any more useful than Woods Hole's "flip-ship" ?

team zissou is not please with this development.
