Keynote Speaker Dr. Ballard

Keynote Speaker Dr. Ballard

Dr. Robert Ballard’s keynotes are always well-received, and I just viewed his video from the 2008 TED Conference- outstanding. You’ve probably heard of Dr. Ballard because of his work with the re-discovery of the Titanic and his remote operated underwater vehicles like Jason. But he also does select corporate presentations and we book him for those as well. Take a lunch break and view this video to learn about underwater exploration. As Ballard points out, we had already been to the moon and played golf there before we did any serious undersea exploration, and the budget for NASA absolutely eclipses what we spend finding out about our own planet’s undiscovered surfaces. Check it out here.
