Astronaut, oceanographer and adventurer Kathy Sullivan recently became the first American woman ever to have walked in space and to have travelled to the deepest point of the world's oceans.
She's just returned home to Ohio, having ventured more than 10 kilometres under the waves to Challenger Deep in the Mariana Trench.
