Then there's the new discovery aspect: lifeforms that can survive in situations that would literally crush/freeze/boil/dissolve most lifeforms. The bottom of the seas are where we find the best analogues to alien life.]]>May 6th 2009 4:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/06/robotic-nereus-submarine-aims-to-explore-the-depths-of-challenge/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/06/robotic-nereus-submarine-aims-to-explore-the-depths-of-challenge/
Isn't that exciting enough that we still have such places to explore?]]>May 6th 2009 5:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/06/robotic-nereus-submarine-aims-to-explore-the-depths-of-challenge/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/06/robotic-nereus-submarine-aims-to-explore-the-depths-of-challenge/May 6th 2009 5:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/06/robotic-nereus-submarine-aims-to-explore-the-depths-of-challenge/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/06/robotic-nereus-submarine-aims-to-explore-the-depths-of-challenge/May 6th 2009 6:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/06/robotic-nereus-submarine-aims-to-explore-the-depths-of-challenge/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/06/robotic-nereus-submarine-aims-to-explore-the-depths-of-challenge/May 6th 2009 6:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/06/robotic-nereus-submarine-aims-to-explore-the-depths-of-challenge/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/06/robotic-nereus-submarine-aims-to-explore-the-depths-of-challenge/May 7th 2009 2:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/06/robotic-nereus-submarine-aims-to-explore-the-depths-of-challenge/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/06/robotic-nereus-submarine-aims-to-explore-the-depths-of-challenge/
We've only been down there once, the first time was the first and only manned trip down there. They spent 20 minutes on the surface, then they went home. The second time was a ROV, which needs cables and well I don't need to remind you about the pressure. So they were very limited in what they could do. Now you have Nereus, which will be able to explore like never before.]]>May 10th 2009 11:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/06/robotic-nereus-submarine-aims-to-explore-the-depths-of-challenge/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/06/robotic-nereus-submarine-aims-to-explore-the-depths-of-challenge/May 6th 2009 4:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/06/robotic-nereus-submarine-aims-to-explore-the-depths-of-challenge/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/06/robotic-nereus-submarine-aims-to-explore-the-depths-of-challenge/]]>May 6th 2009 5:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/06/robotic-nereus-submarine-aims-to-explore-the-depths-of-challenge/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/06/robotic-nereus-submarine-aims-to-explore-the-depths-of-challenge/May 7th 2009 7:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/06/robotic-nereus-submarine-aims-to-explore-the-depths-of-challenge/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/06/robotic-nereus-submarine-aims-to-explore-the-depths-of-challenge/

Down to the depths some seek to be un-poor.

The WHOI site has some good stuff on it, I'm surprised no one linked to it.
