FoS Victor Vescovo

🚀 The FUTURE of SPACE (FoS) video podcast, hosted by Daniel Fox, is a candid and informal conversation between Fox and leaders, investors, innovators, educators, celebrities, movers and shakers, who are shaping the future of humankind into outer space and here on Earth. Just like how two friends would chat and philosophize together, with one thing missing, a glass of wine! 🚀 Our guest today is Victor Vescovo. Victor is an American investor, retired naval officer, sub-orbital spaceflight voyager, and undersea explorer. In 2017, Victor became the 12th American to complete the “Explorer’s Grand Slam” which requires climbing the highest peak on all seven of the world’s continents including Mt. Everest, and skiing at least 100 kilometers to both the North and South Poles. In 2019, he made history’s deepest solo submarine dive in the Pacific’s Mariana Trench at Challenger Deep and was the first person to visit “The Five Deeps” – the deepest points in all five of the world’s oceans. He is the first person to dive the second and third-deepest points on the ocean’s floor and made the first solo dive to the RMS Titanic. He has been awarded five Guinness World Records for various diving and climbing achievements and in 2019, was recognized by Guinness World Records as the person who has covered the greatest vertical distance without leaving Earth's surface. Vescovo flew to space onboard Blue Origin New Shepard NS-21 mission in 2022.
