It is odd that the oceanographers and biologists are getting so  
excited about this trip.  They learned a tremendous amount from the  
Kon-Tiki and Ra voyages, close to the surface of the water, but  
didn't repeat them.  They could easily equip a sailboat with a bulb  
keel for continuous observation of the type this sub affords.  People  
just don't buy glass-bottom boats, or even simple through-surface  
viewers.
