Isn't stealing kind of an Austrlian family tradition? I thought that the original settlers were not Englands most desirable citizens. ;>) No offense meant, just couldn't resist.

Crow Bait I'll have you know that the early Aussies were selected by the best judges in England.

I am sorry, but all of those are just sad pretenders to the name, despite, "public voting."

The original, because it was the first, and because snotty-nosed elites thought themselves "above that sort of rut," missed, no… SQUANDERED, a HUGE opportunity to engage a younger generation, keeping them interested in the goings-on of the science ship. They could have garnered merchandising and subscription services at a fee instead of relying heavily on taxes, donations and grants to do their job.

It is REALLY sad.

Ferry McFerryface… Trainy McTrainface… sad pretenders, and come up with something better, internet trolls; the original Boaty was a golden opportunity that is now passed.

And the "submarine" Boaty, they are just trying to cash in.
