Hes hoping to reach Challenger Deep, the deepest known point in the world's oceans, later this month. The site is part of the Mariana Trench near Guam in the western Pacific.

Good luck, Mr. Cameron! If anyone can do this, it's him.

Why is it necessary to send a human being down there? With all the technology we have today, couldn't the same info/video be collected by a machine?

Fishee · Mar 21, 2012

Interesting that they haven't updated the "mission journal" since Sunday. Sloppy web keeping at best.

He started down about 3 hours ago...

He might go insane doing it, logically thinking. There isn't really much know about gravity (pressure) in the depths of the sea as there is leaving (loosing gravity/pressure) into space... and still, I don't think many are mentally the same doing either.

Hope that makes sense!

Really disappointing coverage on this story.

This is a significant scientific achievement; tantamount to landing on the freaking moon and it barely made headlines. CNN was over two hours late and Fox had it in the Entertainment section for crissakes.
