Going to outer space is easy, there's literally nothing in space that makes it difficult to enter or move around.

Going underground and under the sea is a much more difficult task because there are ridiculous amounts of pressure and heat as your move further down making it harder to proceed.

It's a good thing it's a robot. Robots can't shit their scuba suit when they find a mountain of century old skeletons.

I don't know, but the orange thing looked like it had small legs or tenticles. Could be some sort of jelly fish.
