The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Robert Ballard
- So, you know, I think the age of exploration is just beginning, not ending, on our planet.
- I am an underwater explorer, not a treasure hunter.
- If you compare NASA’s annual budget to explore the heavens, that one year budget would fund NOAA’s budget to explore the oceans for 1,600 years.
- I’m a geophysicist and all my earth science books when I was a student, I had to give the wrong answer to get an A. We used to ridicule continental drift. It was something we laughed at. We learned of Marshall Kay’s geosynclinal cycle, which is a bunch of crap.
- Follow your own passion – not your parents’, not your teachers’ – yours.
- The body is sort of a pain. It has to go to the bathroom. It has to be comfortable. But the spirit is indestructible. It can move at the speed of light.
- There’s probably more history now preserved underwater than in all the museums of the world combined. And there’s no law governing that history. It’s finders keepers.
- You don’t go to Gettysburg with a shovel, you don’t take belt buckles off the Arizona.
- The Titanic will protect itself.
- You don’t let a historic site rot.
Robert Ballard is an American oceanographer and marine geologist best known for his discovery of the wreck of the RMS Titanic in 1985. Born on June 30, 1942, in Wichita, Kansas, Ballard developed an early interest in underwater exploration.
He earned degrees in chemistry and geology from the University of California, Santa Barbara, and later a Ph.D. in marine geology and geophysics from the University of Rhode Island. Ballard’s pioneering work in deep-sea submersible technology has led to significant discoveries, including the sunken ships of the German fleet in the Black Sea, the hydrothermal vents on the Galápagos Rift, and the wreck of the battleship Bismarck.
He has also contributed to the development of remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) for underwater exploration. Throughout his career, Ballard has authored numerous books and scientific papers and continues to inspire future generations of ocean explorers through his work with the Ocean Exploration Trust.
