Darwin's Voyage Done Over, Live

Posted by timothy on from the it-was-live-the-first-time-too dept.

thrill12 writes "Almost 178 years ago, Charles Darwin set sail in the HMS Beagle, to do the now famous explorations that formed the basis for Darwin's On The Origin Of Species. Now, a group of British and Dutch scientists, journalists and artists set sail again to redo the voyage of the Beagle. This time, they are taking modern equipment with them and they have live connections through Twitter, Youtube, Facebook and Flickr. As they re-explore, and (re)discover, we can join that 8-month-long trip, live over the internet."

  1. Too much time on their hands? by Taco+Cowboy · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    There are indeed a lot of stuffs to research on, a lot of stuffs much more interesting and will benefit the humankind in a much more effective ways

    But those "scientists" on the "re-discovery" trip don't care, all they are after is an 8-month adventure

    And they want us to watch them doing that?
