Why humans have visited the moon more than the ocean floor
In short: Until 2019, only three people had reached the bottom of the Mariana Trench, while twelve men had walked on the lunar surface. This video explores why our deepest abyss remains less explored than outer space.
The disparity in exploration highlights a massive technological and psychological gap. While traveling 400,000 kilometers into space is a feat of immense scale, reaching nearly 11,000 meters deep into the ocean presents unique challenges regarding confinement and pressure.
The video examines the fact that humans often seem more intimidated by the prospect of being confined in a bathyscaphe than they are by the vacuum of space.
