Robert Ballard’s Exploration “Why do we look up to the stars before looking down to earth, our oceans?” For years, we have spent an enormous amount of financial resources and time exploring a place that is millions of miles away and yet we have practically neglected exploring what is practically in our backyard. Exploration of the ocean would be very beneficial in many ways. Dr. Robert Ballard’s exploration contributed to the U.S. navy, discovering lost ships and its treasures, and helped advance the knowledge of the underwater world.
