Fun+Videos

This is where we can post fun videos to check out- they are embedded so we don't see comments, etc. Steve Jobs' commencement speech at Stanford, 2005. || This is another video from the 2006 NOAA Ring of Fire expedition. Scientists were trying to take samples when the "Brimstone Pit" erupts and nearly engulfs the submarine in an ash plume. || Robert Ballard was the first diver to find the sunken Titanic in 1985. In 2004, thanks to funding from the NOAA Office of Ocean Exploration, he returned to study the ship's rapid deterioration. Ballard and his team spent 11 days in June at the wreck site, mapping the ship and studying its decay. Using the remotel operated vehicles, they used high-definition video and stereoscopic still images to provide an updated assessment of the wreck site 12,600 feet below the surface. || Ok, this is a cheesy IMAX preview. But: Dolphins! The [|National Science Foundation] helped fund this [|2000 film] so divers could share with anyone who didn't already know how awesome and smart dolphins are. The divers mounted cameras on the front of remote-controlled torpedo-shaped vehicles to examine how dolphin families and societies form, how they communicate with one another, and how humans sometimes adversely affect their health and mortality. The divers (and their dogs!) also have super fun play time in the water with dolphins, which is just mesmerizing to watch. ||
