<pre>From the Seafloor to the Space Station - Listen to the first-ever call
between a deep-ocean submerine and astronauts on the ISS
****************************************
On January 26, join us for a rare conversation between two people on the
edges of human exploration, as the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution
and NASA hold the first call from the deep ocean to the edge of space.
Students, educators, and science lovers can learn more and participate
by visiting <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.whoi.edu/sites/SeafloorToStation">http://www.whoi.edu/sites/SeafloorToStation</a>.
He is two miles under water; she is 200 miles up in the atmosphere. He
works in a small, confined space, looking out onto a vast, unpopulated
expanse--and so does she. He is out of the reach of sunlight, buried in
a blanket of constant darkness, she sees the Sun rise 15 times a
day...if she has any time to look for it. Both are explorers of the last
frontiers.
Marine biologist Tim Shank, diving in the Alvin submersible, will
compare notes on life, science, and exploration with astronaut Sunita
“Suni” Williams as she orbits on the International Space Station.
You can be a part of that conversation: Students, educators, and science
lovers can submit questions for Tim and Suni to answer on the air. Visit
the “Ask a question” page at <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.whoi.edu/sites/SeafloorToStation">http://www.whoi.edu/sites/SeafloorToStation</a>
Please pass this news to friends, colleagues, and students of all ages.

We shall not cease from exploration / And the end of all our
exploring / Will be to arrive where we started / And know the
place for the first time. -- T.S. Eliot, from "The Four Quartets"
