Last night BP alerted us to additional oil leaking from their deep underwater well.
International Space Station: Given the actual space station ISS, would it be cheaper to build the equivalent at 3-4-5 miles deep underwater?
FORBES: Why Don't We Spend More On Exploring The Oceans, Rather Than On Space Exploration?
There's lots of natural gas all over the world, but most of it is stranded, which means that for whatever reason--it's deep underwater or in a remote area, for example--it's not commercially exploitable.
If implemented, the Baltic Deepwater Oxygenation (Box) project would require around 100 pumping stations built around the Baltic Sea to transport oxygen deep underwater to counteract the declining amounts of oxygen and prevent the growth of the dead zone.
They are also trying to understand the role that deep seas trenches play in earthquakes - these cracks in the sea floor are formed at the boundary of two tectonic plates and some believe the push and pull taking place deep underwater could be the cause of major earthquakes, such as the 2011 quake that resulted in such devastation in Japan.
But they also just had these huge discoveries of oil off their shores underwater, pretty deep down.
The business plan for Deep Flight includes schools for underwater pilots to fly future versions of the Super Falcon.
Farmers in many flood plains plant crops that grow underwater, such as deep water aman rice or jute.
Oil from the mile-deep well may be collecting in underwater clouds, potentially endangering a cornucopia of life from the sea floor to the surface, preliminary sampling by university researchers suggests.
The problems, of course, include the expense of building platforms in deep water, servicing them and building underwater transmission to bring the power to land.
Examples include: high accuracy machine tools, deep underground tunneling machines, telecommunications equipment, underwater surveillance gear, sophisticated computers, manufacturing equipment associated with microelectronics, advanced composites and super-alloys.
Key technologies transferred by or through Germany to the Soviet Union include: high accuracy machine tools, deep underground tunneling machines, telecommunications equipment, underwater sensors, sophisticated computers and manufacturing equipment associated with microelectronics, advanced composites and superalloys.
Roads are underwater and some hard-hit areas are deep in wildlife refuges.
Wannabe cosmonauts also have the opportunity to sink underwater to the ISS replica, which is submerged snugly in a swimming pool 12m deep and 23m wide.
