How the Soviets Drilled the Deepest Hole in the World

<< < (2/3) > >>

Clive:
We will be able to see what MB is doing.  ;D

David:
A very long underground network  ;D

Sandra:
I think you would have a problem when you got near the central core Simon, because of it being very, very hot  ;D

Reno:
You'd tick off the Earth god with 20 arms whose job it is to keep the world from exploding with a room full of linux terminals and a refrigerator of mountain dew.   ::)

nope, you'd have issues with the grav field too... but mostly the heat would be an issue.. plus the inner part of the core is moving around creating the Earth's magnetic field. Though I guess you might be able to go short distances, like across russia....
