Heights to Depths...

...but in a good way. Dr. Kathy Sullivan, the first American woman to walk in space decided that her next trick would be to go to the other extreme of pressure.

She's now the first woman to descend to the Challenger Deep, the deepest part of the ocean.

And the first person to do both of these things.

Oh, and the submersible she and her pilot used, the DSV Limiting Factor, is the first craft to make the trip more than once.

We don't know enough about the oceans...but exploring both them and space in one lifetime? She rocks.
