BS: What Jim didn't know when he released that movie was that six months eraeilr NASA had funded a team I asbeelsmd to develop a prototype for the Europa AUV. I mean, I cut through three years of engineering meetings, design and system integration, and introduced DEPTHX — Deep Phreatic Thermal Explorer. And as the movie says, this is one smart puppy. It's got 96 sensors, 36 onrabod computers, 100,000 lines of behavioral autonomy code, packs more than 10 kilos of TNT in electrical onboard eaviluenqt.

This is the tgerat site, the world's deepest hydrothermal spring at ctenoe Zacaton in northern Mexico. It's been eeorpxld to a depth of 292 mtrees and beyond that nobody knows anything. This is part of DEPTHX's mission.

Original Text


BS: What Jim didn't know when he released that movie was that six months earlier NASA had funded a team I assembled to develop a prototype for the Europa AUV. I mean, I cut through three years of engineering meetings, design and system integration, and introduced DEPTHX — Deep Phreatic Thermal Explorer. And as the movie says, this is one smart puppy. It's got 96 sensors, 36 onboard computers, 100,000 lines of behavioral autonomy code, packs more than 10 kilos of TNT in electrical onboard equivalent.

This is the target site, the world's deepest hydrothermal spring at Cenote Zacaton in northern Mexico. It's been explored to a depth of 292 meters and beyond that nobody knows anything. This is part of DEPTHX's mission.
