Why NASA SUDDENLY ‘Stopped’ Exploring The Ocean & NEVER WENT BACK! #shorts

By the late 1970s, more specialized organizations such as the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the U.S. Navy, and various research institutions like Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and the Scripps Institution of Oceanography took the lead in exploring and studying the oceans.
