My guest today was the FIRST to reach the DEEPEST point of the ocean, known as Challenger Deep. In 1960 US Navy lieutenant Don Walsh and  Swiss oceanographer and explorer Jacques Piccard piloted the bathyscaphe Trieste 35,797 ft BELOW THE SURFACE OF THE SEA, when itbecame the first crewed vessel to reach the bottom  the Mariana Trench, the deepest point in Earth's seabed.My conversation with Don Walsh could not have predicted that such a disaster as the Titan submersible would have taken place. Eerily, Don and I discussed the logistics of preparing a vessel to dive to such depths, the safeguards, the rigorous testing.Please stick around the the poll question near the end.Please join our Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/thehappinessquotientSend us a text If you've been enjoying the podcast and find value in the content, we'd be incredibly grateful for your support.
