James Cameron dives to deepest point on Earth

Not an insult just a pointles waste of time. Steve Fossett found out the hard way, what the price is for doing pointless shit when your rich and bored.

Just my observation.

This is a bit different than floating or flying around the world though.

...Cameron made the dive aboard his 12-ton, lime-green sub called "Deepsea Challenger." He planned to collect samples for biologists and geologists to study.

"It's really the first time that human eyes have had an opportunity to gaze upon what is a very alien landscape," said Terry Garcia, the National Geographic Society's executive VP for mission programs, via phone from Pitlochry, Scotland.

The first and only time anyone dove to these depths was in 1960. Swiss engineer Jacques Piccard and U.S. Navy Capt. Don Walsh took nearly five hours to reach the bottom and stayed just 20 minutes. They had little to report on what they saw, however, because their submarine kicked up so much sand from the ocean floor.




...unless you think fresh bio/geological research is pointless...
