...part of the experiment, Glenn and Dr. Chiaka Mukai, a payload specialist from Japan, spent four nights wired to sensors that monitored breathing, muscle tension, brain waves, oxygen levels and eye and body movement. After their return Saturday, they slept at Johnson Space Center in Houston, still wired to the sensors. They will continue to give blood and urine samples for the next few weeks. Czeisler was still in Houston yesterday according to his secretary, and could not be reached for comment...
...sperm whales are mammals and rely on oxygen from the surface to survive. Consequently, scientists find it hard to fathom how sperm whales can dive to depth of 4,000 feet, search out and devour giant squid in the complete darkness and return to the surface in time to breathe again...

As the agency freely admits, there was a flip side to all this positive publicity. If there's a bug in the system, the whole world is watching...

Preliminary explorations of the surrounding forest suggest that the well was just one component of a ceremonial center that covered at least 10 acres...
