Voyger the space craft has traveled to the edge of our solar system approximately 18.4 billion kilometers till the time this post is being written and is still moving forward but it will surprise most of the readers that we are not able to get beneath our feet to a distance of bearly 12.8kilometer. A movie named The Core shows that we travel to the earth's core but that was all fiction. In this space age we plan to take man to Mars but it is impossible right now to even cross earth's crust. The radius of earth is no more than 6400km and humans have been able to dug 12.2km inside the earth in Kola Russia and the deepest place on earth 'Challenger Deep' at Marina Trench which is at 10.8km below the see level has only witnessed 4 man made missions and the irony is that the moon which is at a distance of 350000 km has foot prints of 12 humans.
So why this discrimination of our own beloved planet is going down not useful or not feasible, the major challenge that occurs during going down is the increase in temperature and at the base of Kola the temperature was 180°C which will go increasing to 6000°C at the core and a pressure of 550 giga pascal the machine are no so temperature resistance and most of them fails when worked over 100°C but few techniques are there which will provide them some sheid but the soil doesn't behave like solid the rocks at Kola were in plastic state and further going down most of the things are in liquid state and it is quite Impossible with current technology and engineering to make our way through this molten material, a new revolution is needed to go deep, deeper and deepest. Scientists plan to dig the deepest hole from 2018 and a suitable site is being selected for this, digging from oceans floor is considered a good idea. As we go down something mysterious and unexpected happens diamonds are constructed 100 miles below the surface by extreme pressure and temperature and comes to surface through cracks and volcanic eruption and many rare metals are also obtained from here only and when we will go deeper who knows what will we get maybe some new elements or any other things. A recent study shows that water more than 3 times the water in Ocean is present 500km below the surface and we might even get mountains of gold, titanium, other useful materials. The more our curiosity increase the more are the chances of getting deeper.
