In the past 30 years every one has been trying to get a closer look at the deepest and vastest parts of the oceans. The parts that are all unknown to every human being. Earlier in the year, they launched a new robot to probe the deepest parts of the oceans. To get to know everything that is going on down there scientists need to stay connected with technology. They have to use it to study all the species to understand more about the life and environment of the crevasses of the ocean. One of the main worries about this project is not the limited access of engineers or scientists, but the cost of all the equipment and paying everyone. There has only been three people in world history to ever go down as far as this robot did, there names were, Jaques Piccard, Don Walsh, and James Cameron. These studies are continually increasing in value, price, and news. If things continue at this pace then the vastest parts of the ocean will soon be fully revealed.

Alvin pilot Bruce Strickrott encountered a docile deep-sea octopus 2,300 meters down in the Gulf of Mexico. Instead of swimming away, it grabbed the submersible's robotic arm, normally used for picking up samples of seafloor rocks and organisms.
