The Explorers Club

I was recently granted the privilege of membership into The Explorers Club. Founded in 1904, this is "an international multidisciplinary professional society dedicated to the advancement of field research and the ideal that it is vital to preserve the instinct to explore." The membership roster is filled with historic figures, so I can only hope that someday I will measure up to my new brethren ... either with my current activities exploring the oceans in manned submersibles or ideally with my future endeavors exploring space beyond the bounds of Earth!
