Deep Sea or Outer Space? Which Would be More Interesting??

I do hope that 2010 will be good for you too! There is so much more to discover about the oceans. They still remain largely a mystery. News reports show that they are constantly discovering new life forms. Just last week they discovered a crab that was the color of a strawberry. With so much to learn right here on earth, it shows that that our lifespan is much too short, especially since some turtles can live over 150 years and some trees over 4000 years. I was reading about a bristlecone pine in California that is believed to be some 4,600 years old. Yes, we have much to learn!

...Hi again, thank you. What you have just shared is only a smidgen of what could be discovered and evaluated. There are worlds of new things to obtain information and evidence about. Strawberry, wow. The underwater colors are amazing in their beauty. But in the future we will have realms and realms of newly revealed things that will cause us to be convinced, that we have so much further to go. As you say, look at the life spans of turtles and trees. It will be very interestimg, even the next ten years. Thanks again. Take care.

....Hi 1hopefulman, Happy 2010. I, like you, think that there is so much to discover and to learn in both areas. As I was saying, somewhere else in this discussion, England announced in 2009 that they had discovered 32 more planets. This week someone from the Philadelphia Planetarium was speaking about the discover of a "planet" made of styrofoam, which they are investigating, using a newer, very precise instrument. I also feel that there are things in the ocean that may have properties, that can help to heal people of diseases naturally. There is so much exploration to be done on both fronts. I am sure that your hope will be realized, as you just keep walking, if you believe, as someone said, you can achieve. Take it easy, always nice to hear from you, 1hopefulman. :o).

...Hi Fulltank, I love that phrase, there's such a promise of greatness. I loved Star Trek and the movies made. The amount of information that is out there is immense and the full story is not yet half told, as far as I can see. Last year England announced it had discovered 32 more planets, I have not heard any further mention of the discovery, but that is quite fascinating, if true. Thanks so much for your thoughts. I totally agree with you. Take care.

..Hi tawny, You are a brave soul. You should be somewhere with researchers. You have very a progressive scientific mind, which could be of good use in a research laboratory. Fascinating what you purpose to do. Time would have to be taken to make sure that you and all your species would be able to survive the elements, along with the need for drinkable water. But as I said, you would make a great scientist, with a great sense of humor. :o) Take care.

...Hi there thea, hope all is well. I didn't qualify it, but you know in this world of remote control, you could stay on your boat and send down a camera to the depths for all kinds of pictures. As well as collect samples for research of species. In outer space the same thing, like that little rover thingee on Mars or whereever it was. You would be bulk suit free and dry as could be, but your work could still be accomplished for mankind. "o) Thanks for your response. Take care.

.....Hi there shuying, That would be an adventure and a half. To be traveling through space, as they say on Star Trek, going where no man possibly has gone before, :o) would be one blast. No pun intended. I am not very good at air flight so, I would have to let you go and send me back some wonderful pictures. I think it would be the trip of a lifetime, researching all that is out there would be more than interesting. Experiments on board and all such things scientifically related would be possible. Thanks so much for responding. Take care.

...Hi UpsideDownPineapple, Happy 2010. I think that outer space holds a world of information, that we have not even half-way begun to uncover. Just last year I think, England announced that they had discovered 32 new planets. Think about that, if it is true, what an amazing thing, if there are that many additional planets out there, waiting for investagation and research. It is mind blowing to say the least. We will see what comes next. We haven't even checked out all the othere planets that have names yet. :o) Astronomy is a great hobby. Take care. Thanks so much for your response.

...Hi there spalladina, Happy 2010. There are so many different plants, fish and other animals living in the ocean, that I think that it would take years upon years just to categorize half of them doing specfic personal research. Marine biology must be a fascinating field. The colors under the ocean are the most beautiful that one can imagine. I love seeing the underwater videos showing the natural wonders under the ocean. Thanks for your response. Take care.

...Hi there happy, I totally agree with you, there is so much beauty underwater, that it would be thrilling to dig deeper into the treasures of the ocean. Now I am not a scuba diver or anything, but you could have your large sized boat out there with your underwater video camera, taking all kind of beautiful pictures. Also taking samples of sea plants and live sea creatures for research purposes. There are such colorful things in the ocean, and it is so lovely to view them. Thank you very much for your response. Take care.
