He believes in what he is doing and reaching out to kids to get them excited about science. He is a great leader, many do not agree with him but bob is the reason a lot of kids from the 90's are making discoveries themselves.......; Reply to this comment


by samantha_pia June 23, 2010 12:33 AM EDT: BP is one of the biggest oil companies in the world, do you really think a guy that looks for lost things can help BP? do you not think that BP has its own underwater subs?
why not ask for Col Sanders (KFC) to run the afgan war? that would equate to what you are trying to say here.; Reply to this comment

I enjoyed her interview with Robert Ballard though also surprised at their choice of interveiwer. Hopefully this report may bring him to light in the search for someone who can logically assist in the BP disaster.; Reply to this comment

by Thobora June 14, 2010 4:56 PM EDT: I have known about Robert Ballard for some time now and have been saying for weeks that we need to call him for some help with this oil spill. WHY hasn't anyone called upon HIM for help? He must have some sort of equipment that can get down to this leak and get it stopped.; Reply to this comment

by misshavana June 13, 2010 11:57 PM EDT: Bob Ballard, so amazing to see what U and colleagues have accomplished and continue to discover. ThankU. I only wish an intelligent interviewer had been opposite U. It must have been overwhelming to be asked: "How R U going 2 find them?" when U told the airhead there was a huge expectation to find people preserved underwater. The look on yr face was priceless! But yr response said it all: "Just run into them!"
I burst out in laughter...unbelievable!

Note 2 60 Mins. When interviewing scientists, send a scientist, not a fashion and lifestyles reporter.; Reply to this comment
