It pains me that it’s been FIFTY years since we’ve went to the bottom of the Marianas and haven’t been back since.

Get a gunny sack, and a few rocks, and you can go back any time you want.

Robots have been there many times. Building a TRIESTE III for the sole purpose of taking people back there would be just to fecking expensive to be worth it.
I remember getting a blast out of “The Blue Planet” stop-action sequences from cameras set up way down on the abyssal plain that demonstrated the day/night and seasonal changes that became visible even way down there.
