Go flight explorer. we can go and watch all the boats. we can see them out there, how fast they're going, what direction they're going and where they have been. really quickly, this ocean shield has been going about .4 knots. a half a mile per hour. does that seem slow to you? >> again, the thing to watch is the blue fin. it moves by itself. it's completely unconnected. the fact that the ocean shield may be staying in one spot while a vehicle is on the bottom means nothing. the issue is how much of the ocean bottom is the blue fin ablg to get over. i wouldn't read too much into the fact that t...
