These intrepid explorers did not simply hop into their submersible one day and decide to go to the next level of adventuring, however. For two years, a heavy load of precise research was put towards establishing the ideal window and position to plunge into the freezing depths. Two years might seem like a long time, but it was a necessary effort, given that we as a species are better aware of our solar system’s neighbors than our own home’s watery depths.

It might sound crazy, but we know more about Mars’s barren landscapes than we do about our ocean’s floors that extend for miles far beyond our beaches. Let us try to establish the scale of things. The general gap between our planet and mars spans around 140 million miles. Then the general deepest parts of the seabed measures at a little above 12,000 feet, or almost two miles. The distances are incomparable, and yet we have done so little to explore such a relatively tiny length.
