Former NASA Astronaut Kathy Sullivan Reaches Deepest Point On Earth

Kathy Sulliva, the first American woman to walk in space, has added yet another feather to her hat. She has now become the first woman to reach the deepest known spot in the ocean.

On Sunday, Kathy, an astronaut and oceanographer, emerged from a 35,810-foot dive into ‘Challenger Deep’, according to EYOS Expeditions, a company coordinating the logistics of the mission, reported News18.

“As a hybrid oceanographer and astronaut, this was an extraordinary day, a once in a lifetime day, seeing the moonscape of ‘Challenger Deep’ and then comparing notes with my colleagues on the ISS about our remarkable reusable inner-space outer-spacecraft,” Sullivan said in a statement released by EYOS Expeditions on Monday.

Sullivan had joined NASA in 1978 as part of the first group of US astronauts to include women. On October 11, 1984, she became the first American woman to walk in space.
