OAR/National Undersea Research Program (NURP)Aquarius replaced Hydrolab after it was decommissioned. OAR/National Undersea Research Program (NURP)Dennison, of the University of Maryland, said Hydrolab was damp, cramped, lacked indoor plumbing, and had only three beds for four occupants.

She then infamously turned to kiss her "X-Files" co-star David Duchovny, aka Special Agent Fox Mulder, on the mouth as he was seated behind. Only then did she lean to her side to kiss her boyfriend, Rodney Rowland, seated next to her. “The fact is that David and I were actually living together and Rodney was my beard,” she joked.

Beneath the pit, some 370 miles of tunnels twist through solid rock, extending more than 1.5 miles below the surface. For 126 years, this site in Lead, S.D., housed the Homestake Mine, the deepest and most productive gold mine on the continent. In 2006, the Barrick Gold Corporation donated the mine to the state of South Dakota, which converted it into the largest subterranean laboratory in the United States, the Sanford Underground Research Facility. Although the lowest tunnels flooded after mining ceased, it is still possible to descend nearly a mile beneath the planet’s surface. Most of the scientists who do so are physicists conducting highly sensitive experiments that must be shielded from interfering cosmic rays.
