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.

Maybe the Navy has. Otherwise, it does seem surprising that we've had that unused capability.

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.
