Damn, you nailed it! Robert Ballard was involved in the first season of SeaQuest DSV, the good season. It went downhill in season two and off the planet (literally) in the last episode. Then the sub came back 10 years into the future for season three. Not even having the awesome Michael Ironside could save it!
Interesting, I have met Robert Ballard. He spoke at a Phi Theta Kappa annual convention in fucking Disney Land Orlando, FL. I was in school and it was all expense paid kind of thing, so I'm like hell yes I want to go!! He was a speaker along with Inge Auerbacher a holocaust survivor, I heard some shit from her that made me hurt physically for her. But Bob was fucking incredible. He told us that while he was partially financed with grants, he was also financed through the US Government during the cold war. So they were like you are down there looking for shit anyway just let us know if you here these noises or see these things on your radar. He was never directed to really go anywhere so he just kept on keeping on. That was until he found the fucking Titanic, Then the Government was like WTF are we gonna do now??? Bob was like there are thousands of undiscovered shipwrecks.
The Bob Ballard foundation employs 51% women and 49% men, people of all continents. He is truly a pioneer of equality. And a pretty awesome guy!
"Rose was a plank hog".... This is why I love you.
