The JOIDES Resolution used to be a ship drilling for oil, but now it’s drilling for fossils to learn about the past. The JOIDES Resolution has lots and lots of people, they even have a chef! They have a part on the ship called the derrick. it helps the drill stay together. The J.R. has seven engines but the room that they are in is really hot! There are 104 people on the ship and 33 of them are scientist and there are 7 chefs. They are in the sea for 2 months until they dock their ship. They get water from a machine that makes sea water clean water. When the drill gets stuck, they throw dynamite in the water to clear it out of the way.

Drake, That was a really amazing post. The part I really liked was when you said, They throw dynamite in the water to clear it up.I like that part because you added a lot of action.I have two questions. Number one is, How did you feel when you learned all of this info about the J.R. ?Number two question is I know you got some of this info from the Skype but where did the other information come from?
