Letters from the Sea Floor, Project Tektite II (1970)

Letters from the seafloor

Originally uploaded by Tom Clifton

I was a ’shrinklet’ (behavior observer) on Project Tektite 2, and was assigned there when the 2nd letter was postmarked (May 8, 1970). One of my secondary duties involved shuttling items to and from the habitat, command van, and base camp. There’s a possibility that I (or one of my fellow UT Austin peons) delivered the letter to base camp, to speed it on its way. Far Out!
