Has anyone ever tired to go to the inner core?

Question

i know one has ever made it to the inner core. but has any one ever tired?

Answer 1

Yes.

In the 1960s...

Earth scientists decided to drill through the Earth's crust down to the Mohorovicic discontinuity (where upper mantle begins), and take a sample.

"The project became known as the Mohole and it was pretty well disastrous. The hope was to lower a drill through 14,400 feet (4.5 km) of Pacific Ocean water off through relatively thin crustal rock. Drilling from a ship in open waters is, in the words of one oceanographer, "like trying to drill a hole in the sidewalks of New York from top the Empire state Building using a strand of spagetti." Every attempt ended in failure. The deepest they penetrated was only about 600 feet (200 m). The Mohole became known as No Hole. In 1966, exasperated with ever-rising costs and no results, Congress killed the project.

Four years later, Soviet scientists decided to try their luck on dry land. They chose a spot on Russia's Kola peninsula, near the Finnish border, and set to work with the hope of drilling to fifteen kilometers. The work proved harder then expected, but the Soviets were commendingly persistent. When at last they gave up, nineteen years later, they had drilled to a depth of 12262 meters, or about 7.8 miles. ... the Kola hole had not cut even one-third of the way through the crust, we can hardly claim to have conquered the interior.

Answer 2

Considering that you'd run into that hot stuff that squirts outta volcanoes in a few thousand feet, I doubt anyone's ever tried too hard.

Answer 3

That's physically impossible. It's WAAAAAY too hot.

We can't even go into the mantle very much.

And it's spelt "tried", not "tired".

Answer 4

Go watch the the movie "The Core."
