Robots To Search for Amelia Earhart's Lost Plane
raque writes "Following up on an earlier story, a group of aviation archaeologists will use underwater robots along with submersibles and sonar to search for Amelia Earhart's plane. The International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery will search this July for the aircraft, which went down 75 years ago. 'If there's wreckage there that can be recovered, we need to know what it is, how big it is, what it looks like, and what it's made of so we can prepare a recovery expedition that has equipment to raise whatever's there,' said Richard Gillespie, the group's executive director."
"and what it's made of "
I can tell you what it's made of right now. it was a Lockheed Electra 10E was built at Lockheed Aircraft Company to her specifications. Information about her plane was highly documented before it took off. Really scientists, have you not discovered the internet?

And I am certain that Lockheed will be glad to tell them what they made it of.
Do not look at laser with remaining good eye.
We should all know already that Amelia Earhart and her plane were discovered by the Voyager crew in the Delta Quadrant!

Wouldn't it be more efficient to get one of those numbered ticket dispensers? Then all the sexism could do something other than standing in line while waiting for its turn to come up.

making the Borg into a completely weak opponent
Borg was "a completely weak opponent", not winning a single set in nine matches in 1991 and 1992.
Since her crash, I believe she's been on Stargate, Star Trek, The Outer Limits, Dr Who, and at least 5 other shows. So she could be just about anywhere by now lol.
Queue the sexism. :( A very disappointing first comment.
I think you mean cue the sexism.
Maybe a woman would've known the difference.
She has a robots.txt file. They'll leave her alone.
