A newer,better versions of Alvin is bound to reveal even more surprises ahout a world that is still full of mysteries,Fornari says.It might also make the job of exploration a little easier.We take so much for granted on land, Fornari says.We can walk around and see with our eyes how big things are. We can see colors,special arrangements. Alvin can go up and down at a rate of 30 meters every second,and its maximum speed is 2 knots ,while the new vehicle will be able to ascend and descend at 44 meters per second.Itll reach speeds of 3 knots,or 3.5 miles per hour.
