Kathy Sullivan: Exploring space and the Mariana Trench
Former astronaut Kathy Sullivan was the first American woman to walk in space in 1984. Last month, she became the first woman to submerge to the deepest known point in the ocean.
The human impulse to explore new frontiers has taken us into space and to the deepest, most remote corners of our own planet. HARDtalk’s Stephen Sackur speaks to one woman who has done both. Kathy Sullivan was the first American woman to walk in space, in 1984. She has just returned from a mission to the deepest point underneath the oceans, the Mariana Trench in the Pacific. She is first and foremost a scientist; as we try to navigate our future, are we properly respecting the science?
