Considering the outer core of the Earth is molten metal, it would be rather difficult to dig through liquid.

The same reason you've never made a bona fide attempt to saw off your nutsack with a rusty hacksaw.

We could probably use some solar powered helicopters if we manage to hook them up through some kind of reverse osmosis process.

Ouch!
Even worse than the drill bit issue, which can be solved for a while further with a different material, was the fact that the heat was melting the tunnel walls, causing them to collapse around the drill.

That's what they want you to think. Like they don't have one already. Wake up sheeple! What did they put in the chem trails that makes you so gullible?

Bless your middle-aged soul in wherever your parents' basement is located. It's been years since we've had a good irrational chem trails thread here. First, let me say that high altitude jets produce "CONTRAILS' DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMMIT! Not f'ing "chem trails." However, you are correct that in the main the readers of this board are sheeple who do not know what the government is putting in our drinking water and do not have the sense to wear a tin foil hat when they go to bed at night. Thank you, I feel better now. In fact, I think I feel good enough to stop taking that Thorazine prescription that commie sympathizer, alien collaborator doc has been giving me.

Dunno but are you thinking about The Core?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kola_Superdeep_BoreholeOkay, but they weren'te trying to dig all the way through. If they had set their sites a little higher they might have gotten deeper, like those Americans who are only trying for 2:10 in the marathon, when they should be going for 2:07.
sights, not sites. Jesus.
Because nobody has discovered oil at the core yet.
The solution is no drill bit but water pressure. I pointed a garden hose toward the ground and it made a hole. The hole got deeper, but really not wider so I kept pushing the hose deeper. My dad was really POed when he had to cut the buried part off when we couldn't pull it from the ground.
Now there are high PSI water jets that cuts thru metal so I'm sure soil and rock wouldn't be a problem.
Do the Chinese joke about digging through to America?

No. The Chinese are generally much better at geography than Americans.
Maybe if we start digging in Alaska, by the time we get to the REALLY hot part, the frigid winter air will be blowing from the top down and it'll actually be quite comfortable to work down there.
They tried, turns out molten rock under pressure behaves like viscous liquid making the idea of 'drilling' a little far-fetched. May as well try and drill honey with a knife.
The also got about as far down as the skin on an apple, if the apple were the size of earth. So it seems unlikely conditions get better.
Likely never see another attempt as it'd be very difficult to attract private funds for such a project with no clear commercial use.

Please remember to capitalize the first word of a sentence.
Here is a good video on "the hole".

Inner-planetary water-slide.
"In 3rd grade Steve B. and I undertook this project and it was a very serious effort. Using a compass, pencils and a 12" ruler we would dig at recess and had a hole about 4" deep before we hit a root. The knife Steve procured from the lunchroom would not cut through the root so we aborted the project after two days."
I never thought I would say this to someone posting on Letsrun.com.....but...I Love you, Shale!!
