Six Hours at the Very Bottom of the Ocean

Yesterday, James Cameron — the film director, yes — broke the world’s record for ocean dive in a submersible. This month, he’s going to the deepest depths of the ocean, alone, in what is basically a 43-inch-wide bubble. Not vomit-inducing enough for you? “James’s breath vapor and sweat will condense on a metal surface where it is collected into a bag; He can drink it in an emergency.” So long, James Cameron! Hope you’ve left Sigourney Weaver in charge of Avatar 2.
