Today, November 27th,a miniature boat was launched in hopes of being the first unmanned craft to (intentionally) cross the Atlantic.

Robin Lovelock is a retired NATO scientist and the creator of this project. He believes the vessel will have to navigate 6,000 miles via GPS to make it from the coastal village Barton on Sea, England.

Lovelock has a website where you can watch videos, get updates, and even follow an up-to-date GPS map of the boat.

Uh-oh…

Looks like the tides took him back to land.
