Welcome to The Rest of Science.
And I'm Michael Stevens.
And we're doing Field Notes today, which is where one of us brings a little object.
My object starts with a story.
Have you heard about that?
That Howard Hughes, the eccentric billionaire?
You know, in the middle of the Cold War...
He built this massive ship.
Do you know this story?
Like a ship that floated?
No, I knew more about his airplanes.
Okay, it's called the Glomar Explorer.
And he did this big announcement to the whole world and he said that he was going to go out on the ocean and he was going to mine these worthless looking black rocks at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean.
