A fascinating project in a fascinating period.

As a kid, I distinctly remember watching TV one Saturday morning. There was a commercial length snippet called In The News narrated by Walter Kronkite. There was a 1:30 little tidbit about how the Glomar Explorer, built by Howard Hughes, was going to revolutionize the world by mining manganese nodules off the ocean floor. It seemed odd.

That’s because it was.
