Wait two seconds, is she the first person to both go to space and reach that depth in the ocean, or is she the first woman to do it?
Based on the title it lead me to think that a man had done that before her and the achievement she accomplished here was being the first US woman to do both. Otherwise the article would had said said person and world record without qualifying the achievement by gender and nationality.
The article does not specify if any of the other 7 people who also reached the depth had been in space, so with the comments in here I am now more unsure what the achievement actually is.
> If it was "some astronaut," that would be weird
If it was the first astronaut to be in both places then its not weird at all. First astronaut that explore both extreme environments is an interesting achievement. I would read that story.
