After five years, the Kola well had reached 7km (about 23,000ft). Work continued until the project was abandoned in 1989 because the drill became stuck in rock at a little over 12km (almost 40,000ft or 8 miles) deep. That is the current record for a depth reached by humans.
So barely deeper far less deep than Kola Well (right?) the Russians did 5 decades ago.
Cool?
something 41 million feet in diameter will be damaged by a 25,000 foot hole.
