Ooooh, flying over water to look at algae on my own nickel. What more could you ask for?

I wouldn't fly with my sole mission being to search out new and interesting algae blooms....but, as they state in the article, if you're flying over a body of water and happen to record a good one, why not send it in?

There's at least a little bit of cachet involved in saying you participated in a NASA research program. (You might not want to offer any more details in that particular cocktail party boast. )
