More quotes by Robert Ballard

Robert Ballard

Robert Ballard
I am really dedicated to understanding the planet/creature on which we live and know that means I must go beneath the sea to see 72 percent of what is going on.
Robert Ballard
The DEEP SEA has more history in it than all the museums of the world-combined.
Robert Ballard
I mean, technology is amoral. It has no morality.
Robert Ballard
NASA's annual budget for space exploration could fund NOAA's budget for ocean exploration for 1600 years.
Robert Ballard
My family came in 1635 from England and settled in Williamsburg. Shortly after, they split up half went to New England and half stayed in Virginia. I'm a Virginian Ballard.
Robert Ballard
