Gene,
It seems to me it
is a whole lot more interesting in "inner space" than in outer space. I've
thought of doing a short drift gondola type sub with our current that is off our
coast here. The current runs about 2 to 4 knots.

Hey Folks.
I've been on this list for so long I can't
remember if I've ever submitted before. Anyway, the important part of
this is a question/challenge.
I was researching the PX-15 project, the
Benjamin Franklin, also known as the
Gulf Stream Drift Mission, and had a thought. Considering that space
exploration is once again taking off, so to speak, I find it suprising that
nobody has reviewed the whole undersea/space analog mission template.
I'm a bit of a space nut as well as being into submarines, so maybe
I'm just seeing things from a different perspective. Seems to me that
revisting the mission model for the PX-15 could provide some valuable data for
both manned space flight and marine science.
Just wondered what
everyone here thought of that.
