#3Very interesting read. The article linked from it about Erden Eruç is equally fascinating.
> The 62-year-old Wauna resident Erden Eruç (AIR-den AIR-rooch), already the holder of 16 Guinness world records, was on his way to doing just that when he launched his rowboat from Crescent City, California, June 22, 2021. After 239 days and over 7,800 miles alone across the Pacific for the second time, he became the first person to row from North America to Asia when he landed in the Philippines March 24, 2022, securing two more world records.
Wow! There is reflecting from both him and his wife on the preparation and mental effect this has on both of them.

"Gig Harbor resident, Erden Eruç (pronounced 'Air-den Air-rooch') completed the first solo circumnavigation by human power in 5 years and 11 days between 2007 and 2012. What started as a simple idea in 1997, had become a quiet obsession. A tragic accident which claimed the life of Göran Kropp while rock climbing together in September of 2002, finally put him in motion. Life was too short." Man this is a next version

Not so wild if you consider the fact that we don't live in the sea/ocean. There is a reason why we know more about land animals.

I do love that there's still so much more to learn, especially when it's large animals that have avoided us successfully thus far.

Also because in the sea life is more volumetric. Most sea animals move through the water at least in one stage of their life. Most land animals just move over the ground. Not through the air.

Most probably not. If civilians heard it, you’d expect half a dozen of semi-competent militaries would have done so as well. And some of those militaries have objectives that don’t neatly align or have less than stellar opsec.
Also, it’s very difficult to keep secret a project that involves more than 10 people, especially if it involves building things.
