Mit legendären Geocaches wie der Internationalen Raumstation und den Hydrothermalen Quellen des Tiefsee-Regenbogens testet Richard Garriott zusammen mit Expeditionspartner Michael Dubno (Dubnium) diese Grenzen nun erneut, indem er einen EarthCache im Challengertief des Marianengrabens auf 10.925 Metern (10,9 Kilometer, 6,8 Meilen) unter der Wasseroberfläche erstellt.
