On Monday, she broke a new record -- by diving deep -- becoming the first woman in the world to reach the lowest point on Earth.

EYOS Expeditions expedition leader Rob McCallum said, “It was amazing to set up a conversation between two 'spacecraft'; one operating as a platform for research in outer space, the other an exploration vehicle for ‘inner space’. Two groups of humans using cutting edge technology to explore the outer edges of our world. It highlighted the vast span of human endeavour while at the same time linking us close together as fellow explorers.

U are a Rock Star!! U are the roll model kids need! I've never understood why the US Gov is more interested in pouring $ to learn about Mars.When we still don't know hardly anything about our deep oceans. I would luv for all Gov funds to switch from space to ocean exploration!
the mariners already had female friends
No I've definitely hit a lower point than her.
Why do we always highlight women’s achievements and not men’s? I thought we wanted a sexism free society. Ridiculous
Well, she has her up and her down days doesn't she?
