Remember as a kid, digging holes to China in the yard?
Apparently China has decided to dig their way to North America (or at least part way there).
They have plans to dig a 33,000 foot hole into the ground. That’s over six miles.
I don’t think this is going to end well.
From 1965 to 1995 the Russians operated a borehole facility on the Kola peninsula. By the time they finally quit they had reached a depth of over 40,000 feet below the surface. They learned a fair amount about earth's deep geology, spent a lot of money but got little else for the effort. Makes one wonder what the Chinese think they will accomplish

Crack in the world (1965). Saw it as a kid. They were drilling deep to get the magma out and have clean unlimited energy. Didn't work that way. Whoopsy!
