Synopsis
Special that explores the classic science-fiction novel, "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea," by Jules Verne. In the novel, Verne described forms of technology well ahead of its time. The submarine Verne imagined, the Nautilus, used electricity and ran on a fuel source that seems very similar to the nuclear power used to run submarines today. The U.S. Navy even named its first nuclear submarine the Nautilus in honor of Verne's vision.
