Sir Richard Branson isn’t the only one wanting to return to the Challenger Deep. Now, submersible designers Triton Submarines aims to take humans down to Challenger Deep again using their newly designed submersible Triton 36,000.The most interesting part is the that crew sphere is made of borosilicate glass that actually gets stronger under increased compression under pressure. I too get stronger under pressures. Well that is what I tell myself so I can actually get out of bed in the morning.
