The descent took 2 hours 36 minutes and the ascent took about 70 minutes. In 2009 the Marianas Trench was established as a United States National Monument. I think the isolation and the unknown would be way too much to bear. Claustrophibia seems inescapable. Would you ever do something like that if you could?

We won't see the total eclipse..only partial.It begins at 9:07 a.m.Max viewing for us will be 10:23 a.m.It ends at 11:47 a.m.We have our dark glasses ready (the ones they give you after eye surgery). We also have two sheets of paper with pinholes just to be extra ready/safe. It's kinda exciting to have something like this to share worldwide that won't end in tragedy or deaths. A respite from the ugly. SIGH Some areas won't see any of it and some will see the best of it for the longest time. Are you at "oh boy oh boy" or "ho hum how dumb?" less

What if we are all just different hues of black from lightest/whitest to darkest/blackest? What happens then? Of course you also have Mongoloid as well. The three distinctions/separations are CAUCASIAN, NEGRO(ID), MONGOLOID. Centuries of changing societies have come and gone and who knows how intermixed we are? What would racist whites do if they were to find out they had lotsa non-whites in their ancestral chain going back however long ago it was? less
