Real estate firm The Connor Group's managing partner Larry Connor is teaming up with deep sea specialist EYOS Expeditions to next week explore both the Challenger Deep and the Sirena Deep of the Mariana Trench.
In January 2022, Connor will be the pilot for Axiom Space's 10-day AX-1 mission to the ISS, flying on SpaceX's Crew Dragon spacecraft.
Connor is aiming to be the first person to travel to both the deepest part of the ocean and outer space within 12 months.
