>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 http://www.whoi.edu/sites/SeafloorToStation.

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 http://www.whoi.edu/sites/SeafloorToStation

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"
