“The impossible missions are the only ones which succeed.”

On Saturday Dan and I visited the Cousteau Society “mini-museum”. It’s a one room space near the Air and Space Museum in Hampton. The place was pretty haphazardly put together – half the items weren’t labeled and it felt too awkward to take any pictures inside because were the only people there. They had: a cross section model of The Calypso (complete with little beanie clad explorers), a shark diving tank, a few tiny strange submarines, metallic diving suits, and a ton of interesting photographs.

Jacques Cousteau’s internet presence is much like this museum, I couldn’t find any information or proper websites with the exception of Cousteau Society (worthless) and some articles about the Calypso rotting away. We decided Jacques Cousteau would make a good Halloween costume, but that people will just assume you are Steve Zissou.

Duff, design me a DVD cover/poster.
It’s called Invasion and it’s about 2 little girls who are terrified of aliens and think there Mom is one.
Dry ice is involved. It’s a tender experimental narrative.
