DEEP OCEAN DIVING
NPR April 17, 2010 Almost a decade before man landed on the moon, two men went as far as they could go in the other direction. It was 1960 when Navy Lieutenant Don Walsh and his co-pilot took a nearly seven-mile plunge to the deepest known point on earth -- the bottom of the Mariana Trench in the Pacific. That voyage remains the deepest manned journey in history, and this past week, Walsh was awarded the National Geographic Society's highest honor, the Hubbard Medal. It's a long way from the day the young submarine officer volunteered for a strange project with an even stranger name.
Intrepid explorers are inspiring. But did you know that you too can become an brave explorer to chart new territory? What's more, you don't even have to leave home. Your own mind is still uncharted. Explore to find its strentghs and weaknesses. You may be surprised by the potential for Self building. If you need a guide, please consider 'The Provocative Quran' as a trail blazer.
