The summary of
the story
Philippe Cousteau believes that space exploration has overshadowed ocean
exploration, and it is time for that to change. The new "giant leap" will be the
exploration of our oceans, he believes that, even though it will be expensive,
dangerous, and take a long time, it also may help humanity in healthcare and
technology
