According to the author, why is the descent of Walsh and Picard to the deepest part of the ocean "largely forgotten today"?

The only reason is 1960s were dominated by the race to the moon and the Americans were proud to be the first nation to get there. The race to the depths of this planet was quickly eclipsed by the race to the moon

Explanation:

For the first time in history, on January 23, 1960, two men, Lieutenant Don Walsh and Jacques Picard, descended to the deepest part of the ocean, the bottom of the Challenger Deep in the Mariana Trench located in the Pacific Ocean western. While this feat was international news, the race to the depths of this planet was quickly eclipsed by the race to the moon, and no one has gone so deep since then. And for the past 50 years, we have continued searching.

the answer is the last one

1.creeping like a snail is a simile used in this poem and it means the child is going to school unwillingly./a child is unwilling to go to school.

2. man becomes very frail and loses his physical strength when he becomes old, so much that his leggings that used to fit him snugly when he was in his youth are now too loose for him to wear, and that his shank has shrunk so much that this worldly stage is too big for a feeble actor like him. although, 'his youthful hose' just refers to his leggings/pants/ to shrink from danger; to shrink from contact.

3.the words "sans" means "without." it is a french word that is often used in english even today. so he is saying that in the last age of a man, the man is without eyes, taste, or anything else. he also says that this is the "last stage of all" and that it is the stage that ends a man's "history."

hope this !
