From 1953 to 1957 it was made a few dives in the Mediterranean, including in it set a record at the time of depth 3150 meters. In 1958, this unit was purchased by the U.S. Navy.

The deepest depression of the famous in the world was named after the nearby Mariana Islands. Its depth was measured for the first time in 1875 by a British ship "Challenger", whose name was called and the deepest point of the trough. Jacques Picard and Don Walsh were the first to dive into the abyss 23 January 1960. On the bathyscaphe "Trieste" they reached the level of 10 911 m After only 52 years old, March 26, 2012, they repeated the record, James Cameron, who single-handedly sank in the "Abyss Tour". Canadian filmmaker dives in the submersible Deepsea Challenger, during which made filming in format 3D, which formed the basis of the documentary National Geographic.

Left to right: Neil Armstrong (left), Buzz Aldrin (right) and Michael Collins. During the landing of the Nile and Buzz on the moon's surface, Michael piloted the command module in orbit of the Moon: July 21, 1969 at 02 hours, 56 minutes and 20 seconds GMT Neil Armstrong made a small step became a giant leap for mankind, descending the stairs from the lander "Apollo 11" on the lunar surface. The second guest of the satellite was Edwin Aldrin, who joined the captain of flight in 15 minutes. In total, they scoured the lunar spaces for 2 hours, 31 minutes and 40 seconds. During that time, astronauts installed an American flag and instruments necessary for scientific experiments and collected samples of lunar soil. After 21 hours and 36 minutes spent on the lunar surface and inside prilunivshegosya module, the crew left the only astronomical object is the planet on which man has trod. In total, the program of missions to the Moon "Apollo" on the surface of the Earth satellite was visited 12 astronauts. Kola super-deep: the most deep well, a man-made Kola super-deep borehole. Drilling of the first stage (depth 7600 m), 1974: May 24, 1970 began drilling the deepest "hole" has ever made by man. Under the Soviet program in the Murmansk region (10 km from the town of Polar) was drilled, which reached a record high of 12,262 meters in 1990. The grandiose project lasted until 1992. Only in the first 7 km of drilling took about 7 years. In 1983, the drill for the first time entered the terrestrial rocks at 12 km. Later, because of accidents and technical difficulties had to suspend work. Only in 1990 was the definitive world record for drilling. With the help of the Kola super-deep scientists wanted to study the oldest rocks of our planet by the example of the Baltic Shield granite. Kola super-deep sometimes called "The Well to hell." There is a legend at a depth of 12,000 meters, microphones, scientists recorded the cries and moans of the people. This is of course a myth, although in the course of drilling did occur the phenomenon, explaining that scientists could not find.Kola super-deep. Photo 2007. At the moment facility abandoned, the building is actually destroyed, and she bore to brew: Flight Felix Baumgartner: the highest jump in history October 14, 2012 Austrian skydiver Felix Baumgartner made the highest jump in history, jumping from a 39-kilometer-high (39.45 thousand meters).At this mark 43-year-old athlete got 2 hours 16 minutes in a special capsule. During the fall, Felix exceeded the speed of sound, reaching a speed of 1,357.6 miles per hour. He jumped in the suit for the first time without the help of flight technology was in free fall for 4 minutes 19 seconds. This "star" time could be fatal for Baumgartner in the event of loss, but fortunately, the experiment is successful. For extreme jump, which was broadcast live, watched about 8 million people.
