EXCLUSIVE: Richard Garriott landed on the foot of the Mariana Trench becoming the only man to have flown into space, reached the North and South Poles and visited the bottom of the Earth.
Gently landing on the foot of the Mariana Trench, Garriott took the world’s deepest selfie.
Shockingly he found trash left by a previous Chinese expedition and took video of tiny translucent creatures scuttling on the ocean floor.
British-born Garriott became the only man in the world to have flown into space, reached both the North and South Poles and visit to the bottom of the Earth?
Garriott, 59, took pictures, posters and poems from young Daily Mirror readers down with him.
He took photos of the deepest rocks on earth sitting on the Pacific plate and he made a short sci-fi film down there – he did the same when he was an astronaut on the International Space Station in 2008.
He also took samples back to the surface which will be analysed and could contain species not yet known to mankind!
