Right now, there has been plenty of focus on exploring the depths of outer space. People love to fantasize about what it would be like to colonize Mars, expanding humanity further into our solar system.

The search for a sunken submarine
Our story begins with a woman named Kelsey Johnson. She was engaged in the kind of exciting activity that most of us can only dream of. Namely, she was a passenger aboard a ship (The Mariner) on her way to explore one of the ocean’s greatest mysteries.
Decades ago, a submarine named The Patriot had disappeared. It was assumed lost with all hands, but its final fate has never been ascertained. Johnson was on her way to do just that on behalf of the Navy. But she was having trouble sleeping the night before her mission, worried about what she might find at the bottom of the Arctic Sea.
As it turns out, she was right to be worried.
