Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Repeating History



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.
