Why are we ignoring the oceans? Why does NASA spend in one year what NOAA will spend in 1600 years? Why are we looking up? Why are we afraid of the ocean?

If you plan it out, and it seems logical to you, then you can do it. I discovered the power of a plan.

I mean, there is amazing amount of oil and gas and other resources out beneath the sea. It's staggering.

There's probably more history now preserved underwater than in all the museums of the world combined. And there's no law governing that history. It's finders keepers.

You can only inspire when you give people a new way of looking at the world in which they live.

Don't confuse facts with reality.

NASA's annual budget for space exploration could fund NOAA's budget for ocean exploration for 1600 years.
