"In Japan we have some volcanoes, earthquakes and such kind of natural hazards. People (want to create) some monitoring or analysis equipment but we don't know ... what kind of factor to use," Abe said.
"So we need to know the natural system more clearly or precisely ... we have to observe the earth more precisely."
They'll get about 20 miles down and realize that it's hard as fuck and not cost efficient.
They can't, the Russians already tried similar things, the drills break up and are met with failure going past a certain distance.
They only need to drill like 4 miles to reach the mantle <_<
that's why they're probably not starting for another 10 years
says in the article that there's still some improvements in technology that need to be made before it's even possible

Because it's just impossible for technology to improve.
I've seen enough movies to know that this leads to giant monsters.
This is the equivalent of ringing Cthulhu's doorbell.

Seems pretty reasonable to me
I think it's kinda crazy how they're planning to start 2030 at the latest. Just feels weird the sort of massive timescales these sorts of projects are on
Man, that is some picture, Eggplant.
Very intense.
Of course I'm not an expert in this field but it just sounds, from an uneducated perspective, like a dangerous idea. The mantle has never been penetrated before--we literally no idea what could happen.
Yeah, it's insane looking.
In case you aren't familiar with the original.
