More people have been to space than the bottom of the ocean

In a day and age where we are always looking for the next big thing, a manned mission to Mars, investigating black holes and taking advantage of commercial space exploration. Isn’t it a wonder that we forget that we have not yet explored the entirety of our own planet.

Water makes up 70% of our planet of which we have not yet explored 90% of that. To make the sums a little easier to follow, we have not explored 60% of our planet.

Not Victor Vescovo, he is one of three men to have been to the bottom of the ocean.

He is making new discoveries, such as the new bottom-dwelling jellyfish called a stalked ascidian.

As well as identifying the deepest part of the Indian Ocean is in the bottom of the Java trench

I challenge you to not explore the deepest parts of the ocean (but never stop dreaming you can) but to rather explore your town, city, own country more.
