Description

1960 saw 2 records set - one reaching the the asbolute bottom of the ocean and the
other for parachuting from the very edge of space. Coincidentally, the distance that
separates these 2 records is not as far as you might think. They're separated by
42,216 meters which is only 21 meters (about 69 feet) more than distance of the
modern marathon of 42,195 meters (26 miles, 385 yards).
