Haven't The Seen The Core?
Scientists plan to drill all the way down to the Earth's mantle: "In what can only be described as a mammoth undertaking, scientists, led by British co-chiefs, Dr Damon Teagle of the National Oceanography Centre in Southampton, England and Dr Benoit Ildefonse from Montpellier University in France, have announced jointly in an article in Nature that they intend to drill a hole through the Earth’s crust and into the mantle; a feat never before accomplished, much less seriously attempted."

"a feat never before accomplished, much less seriously attempted."
Someone related to this should have sent back to take remedial editing. Obviously if something has never been "seriously attempted" it can't have been accomplished.
This was attempted in the Caribbean in the sixties with a project known as MOHOLE.
Without Doug McClure it doesn't stand a chance.
