couple more questions:
- could there be any benefits to running nuclear plants underwater?

>He said that he would take some protein bars with him for the historic dive, but that much of his space was taken up with digital recording decks.

>“It’s full of electronics,” Mr. Cameron said. “It’s tight, like a Mercury space capsule.”

Where's that Mad Scientist?

Seabros all up in this shit.
