I don't see it that way at all, the Bathyscaphe Trieste was the equivalent of the Lunar Module. Both could fit two people, I think the reason we haven't sent humans back to the Trench is clearly because we wish not to.

Never been quiet that north so no such luck, but I've never seen a shuttle launch from KSC either. Both are going to be retired in few years, I have to say I'd choose to see the shuttle of the two. Probably why we haven't been back to Challenger Deep, its easy to take the ocean for granted as its right here waiting for us and thus space exploration is so much more popular.
As for going to the depts of the ocean or into space, sign me up for either.
