 Kosrae gets car color! For now…

In other Micronesian sports related news, the 2012 SUV of the Year as voted by Motor Trend magazine gets a Micronesian makover.  The Range Rover Evoque, an environmentally conscious Compact crossover SUV from Land Rover comes in a unique array of colors, among them a hue called. “Kosrae Green”.  Unfortunately, the evocative green color will be joining two other extinct Kosrae species as Land Rover recently announced it will be discontinuing the color.  So get your Kosrae Green Evoque while they last!  It will only cost you $41,000 without any options.
 James Cameron to launch Historical Mission

The Mariana Trench called “Earth’s lost frontier” is about to be explored by a man known for taking us to other worlds.  Famed filmmaker, James Cameron, director of ”Avatar” and “The Abyss,” plans to pilot a one man sub seven miles down to the deepest part of the trench called the Challenger Deep and spending at least 6 hours below filming 3d footage for a documentary with partner National Geographic. Only two people, Swiss engineer Jacques Piccard and U.S. Navy Capt. Don Walsh, have ever successfully dove the Trench and that was 52 years ago! Needless to say submersibles have changed a lot during that time but even still, Cameron is currently in Guam doing extensive tests on the technologically advanced sub he helped design, the Deepsea Challenger before launching the mission.

Cameron may not be alone in his attempts explore the deep as telecom mogul Richard Branson is said to be developing a two man sub of his own.  And for those feeling adventurous themselves perhaps someday you’ll be able to procure a sub of your own like this 3 passenger Triton 3300 with a price tag of only $3 million.  No news yet if the sub will be available in Kosrae Green.
