One of the factors that has fueled my interest in
subs has been the inner/outer space
aspect.
There's no realistic way for me to get into space
and poke around at this point.
There IS a realistic way for me to get undersea and
poke around with some $ and some hard work.
Conclusion: build/obtain submarine

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.
