io9 has the story about Cameron’s complaint and his endeavor to spearhead a return to “Challenger Deep, the deepest known point in all the world’s oceans.”
I just want to highlight a pleasantly surprising remark from Cameron:
“I think we’ve got to do better,” he told Nature News. “If it means getting private individuals together with institutions and bypassing the whole government paradigm, that’s fine. Maybe that’s what we need to do.”
Please, by all means, do.
Some interesting tales have been and still can be told in the depths of the ocean. Cameron’s Avatar sequel will be set under Pandora’s oceans. And I have a nostalgic fondness for the show seaQuest DSV that aired when I was a kid.
