Do We Know More About Our Moon Than The Ocean's Of Earth?

It is said “There is no real boundary to the part of the planet I think of as the deep sea. Technically, it is defined as oceanic depths greater than several hundred feet. In my mind, the deep sea encompasses the depths of the open ocean beyond where daylight penetrates.” (Van Dover pg. 12) That quote sums up the minds of scientists and people alike at the time. It says the boundaries we once thought existed now have lifted and open a door that leads to another world of possibilities. Many have deemed some exploration impossible due to the pressure and weight of time so deep. Even a constructed submersible built for that travel can only last so long under such pressure until it caves. That makes it an extremely dangerous feet to accomplish alone, but scientist not only wanted to see the boundaries of their technology at the time, but they wanted to get the most out of it possible also.

The statement “We know more about our moon than the ocean’s of Earth” is surprisingly true. Our oceans are massive and take up more than 70% of Earth, alone that is more to explore than the moon by 10x. As a society and a species as a whole, we strive to know the most about our surroundings, and every inch of earth is what we meant. Ever since the early 1600’s, scientists have strived to collect data and announce what new information we
