URI's Inner Space Center a dream come true for Ballard

For Robert Ballard, the opening of his new Inner Space Center in the University of Rhode Island’s Ocean Science and Exploration Center fulfills a dream he first shared in in an article published in National Geographic magazine in December 1981...

...One way or another, Ballard has been doing such remote explorations and broadcasts for years. Tens of thousands of students have taken part in his Jason Project presentations on research around the world.

But with the formal opening Monday morning of his Inner Space Center, he has a permanent location, equipped with a television production studio and extensive editing equipment.
