Well, both outer space and the oceans are important, but if you make me pick one to explore, it'll be the SEA. Underwater.

Why?

1. The sea is more immediate to life on earth. The sea covers more than half our planet. We need to know what's at home before we figure out what's out there.

2. We're destroying the sea and the creatures found there at a faster rate than we're destroying space (not for lack of trying, I might add). Maybe if we know what it is we're destroying, we'd think twice before we ruined it.

3. Just sentiment - Sea creatures are FASCINATING. The varieties, the colours, the defence mechanisms, the movements ...
Out of pure enchantment, just to gasp with admiration, it would be the sea.

4. Just sentiment - My childhood memories of picnics on the beach, swimming in the ocean, are vivid and joyful. I'd like to explore more, to re-live and 'deepen' (pun intended) these memories.

5. Just sentiment - Dad is a diver and has narrated stories of what he has seen in the sea. If Dad can, I can. So there.

And if that ain't enough for you - here -

Which do you think is more important to explore and why: outer space (objects in the universe) or under water (life and objects in the water environment)? Which would you choose to explore if you could?
