Brain rot

Take yourself seriously

If you have ever thought what if i just dug a really really deep hole? that’s what the USSR did. That hole is 12.2 kilometers (7.6 miles deep). That makes it deeper than the mariana trench and mount evereset is tall. The USSR dug it starting in 1970. It was part of a race to see who could retrieve a sample from the earth’s mental first kind of space race but the opposite. The United States only reached 600 feet before pulling funding but the ussr kept going for 20 years. They made it about a third of the way through earth’s crust. Before the temperature got alot hotter than they expected. Their drill bits started melting. The rock was so hot it was like plastic. But along the way they invented all the kinds of drilling and scientific equipment that we still use today. They found fossils of organisms dating back 2 billion years and discovered there was water much deeper than previously thought. It’s crazy though, that the deepest hole humanity has ever dug is still 0.002% of the way to the middle of the earth. There is so much that we still don’t know about our own planet.
