"The Natural Environment Research Council’s (NERC) new polar research vessel will be the UK's largest and most advanced research ship yet. She will allow scientists to carry out research safely and efficiently, even through the harshest of winters, in both Antarctica and the Arctic."
I heard about this today, where the public can submit and vote on what this new ship should be named. And oh my gosh, I think we have a winner! Boaty McBoatface. I love it! Simply because of its whimsy. Why does it have be serious? And does it have to be named after some famous explorer? (I do understand wanting to get taken seriously though).
I laughed a lot tonight, as we read through all of the submissions (and yes, we voted for this one!). In this world, where there isn't really much for good things in the news, and when it is so easy to be disappointed in how we treat each other, this was a nice treat. The only thing missing on this boat is a smiley face. I would totally ride this boat!
We should try to put smiles on each other's faces, and we should try to spread as much kindness as we can. Starting now.
