Ever since I heard about NASA's graveyard in the ocean where they send all (or some) of their dying satellites, I've wanted nothing more than to go and investigate.

(Source and more info: NASA's Graveyard via Nasa.gov)

Now that may be a bit difficult to do, seeing how the average depth of the South Pacific Ocean is roughly 4,200 meters (just shy of 14000 feet) with the deepest areas reaching a whopping 10,900 meters (roughly 35,000 feet)!

I wonder how much gold is down there seeing how gold is often used in satellites and other space vehicles? Either way, let's hope that some day someone with more money and curiosity than I takes a pleasure dive and brings back some pictures. :alien:(y)
