was on, the oven is on, you can control it right from your phone. clearly apple is banking with the future on this and they ve signed up the various hardware makers, people who make your oven, refrigerator, all of that is going to be integrated directly with your phone. but can it bring me coffee in bed? i don t think it can. dan simon in san francisco, thank you. appreciate it. 31 days under the sea. that is how long fabien cousteau will be under water. they drove to the laboratory off the coast of florida yesterday. the lab is called aquarius and the mission is called mission 31. this will be one day longer than his grandfather, perhaps you ve
according to the focus on oceans recently but mission 31 is an epic adventure, expedition that i m leading to take six people to go and live and work underwater for over 31 days. we aim to connect with the general public to bring them along for the first time ever live on an ocean expedition through tangible medias that everyone is used to through these little devices. through these things that we carry in our pockets. it s incredible. it s called mission 31. we will be checking on you when this happens. thank you so much. my pleasure. coming up, a veteran s hospital in phoenix putting america s vets on secret waiting lists where they stay and kaer. and for a lot of them it becomes too late. 40 veterans died while waiting for help, for treatment.
going to be not a recovery system, but rescue possibility? i mean, do you think there are any survivors in that ferry? well, you know, as opposed to the malaysian airlines, we know exactly where the boat is here. and recovery efforts or rescue efforts are under way as we speak. i do believe that there s a good possibility that there will be survivo survivors, but as time ticks on, air supplies or oxygen supplies dwindle, and the fact that hypothermia and other factors may set in to those folks who might be in those remaining air pockets, definitely come into play. we mentioned right at the top that you ve got mission 31 coming up, some experiments there. and i guess part of it is understanding what that environment does to the human body. well, absolutely. so i m taking a team of six
we think we know so much about the world. and then we see what we ve been going through for the last few weeks. the ocean covers 70% of our planet, and we know so little about it, especially in parts that we need to know about now. so we re seeing firsthand in two of the biggest stories this morning that very truth. the continued hunt for flight 370 in the southern indian ocean. and also the search for survivors on the south korean ferry that capsized on wednesday. at least 33 people dead. 269 still missing. let s bring in fabian cousteau, planning a record 31-day mission at the bottom of the ocean, called mission 31. and also the grandson of jacques cousteau. fabien, good to have you back. good to be back. why do we know so little about the ocean? well, a number of things. first of all, just to correct your first statement, although we do talk about the surface of the oceans being 72%, 73%, we re
you re talking three miles deep, the equivalent of an elephant every square inch of pressure at that depth. it s extraordinarily difficult. there are very few tools to go down there in the first place. the few tools that are capable of doing that a lot of times are relegated to other projects. it s extraordinarily difficult. you re talking about an uncharted territory. it s like looking to see what s going on in the attic through the front door key hole. this is a wakeup call about just how little we know about these vast depths. you are on this mission, mission 31. you are actually trying to help solve this problem for the future. the main point of mission 31, why we ll be taking a team down to live and work under water for 31 days in the only undersea marine laboratory in the world, outside of that is that human connection. the beauty of that platform we can broadcast live, day in and day out through the advent of tools such as this yuxt um yum
