We discussed, in previous units, the Earth and it's various layers. Listen to the following link and find out what we would see if we were to drill to the center of the Earth. What are your thoughts?
Wow that would take a LONG time and that would cost WAY too much especially because we are billions of dollars in debt to china, and this drilling mission will porbably be paid through tax payers's money, which I think isnt fair unless we are almost garenteed some sort of HUGE benefit since it IS our money...
wow! That would take so long and cost way to much money! I also don't understand why they are going to use our money and why cant they use someone elses? I just don't get it and hope the drillign mission will go okay!

All of this drilling will take a long time because in one of the videos they did a mission called Mole Hole and they were 5,000 m short of where they wanted to go. i hope they dont cause another oil spill that was prettyy bad. It will also cost a bunch of money to do, why do they care so much to get to the Earths mantle something could go wrong maybe we arent supposed to reach the earths mantle? thats why its so far down.
@ Courtney Mauricio i also agree that we should get some benifit pf this if they are taking OUR money we pay in taxes. Before they use that money to drill to the mantle they should use it to supply more food for people that dont have that much money to buy it or something else important.
The work they would have to go through is just impossible. The first layer they have to go through is: -Sediments -Crust -Lava Flow -Sheeted Dikes -Gabbro -Mantle This process would take at least 2 years and the cost of just one day would be 50,ooo dollars. Thats alot
@ Anna They cant use anyone elses because if they were to borrow some from a different country, we would be in debt to them, and we, the people would have to pay them back. And if the government paid for it, they would have to borrow MORE money from somewhere else and I already went into THAT!!
I think that would be boring drilling to the earth for 2 years! And its ALOT of money! It would be cool when they are finished but it would take way to long. Can you bieleve $50,000 a day!
I dont know if this progect is worth spending money on because it would last about 2 years and cost about 50 thousond dallors a day, and what usesful acomplemesment would you relly get out drilling to the mantle?
That would take 2 years to complete! At a costy of 50,000 dollars a day! That is way too expensive for me. This is why it may, may not happen. (the drilling to the mantle). In the previous mission they fell 5,000 miles short of their target, if they do that again it will be a big loss of OUR money. That woiuld be a waste.
@Bridget You are correct, what would we get out of it? We would just be wasting our money on drilling to the mantle. I think it is more of a thrill thing, rather than being something of big importance. That is another reason that I want it all to work out!
I think that would be boring drilling to the earth for 2 years! And its ALOT of money! I don't think they should drill! This could be a big waste of money and time!
Wow, I think that it would take a very long time to drill into the center of the earth. because their is a very deep layers of rock until you can get into the center or atleast to almost reach the center of the earth. And it would be alot of money to get the right maschincery to reach the center of the earth.
Wow it would take 2 yrs to drill to the mantle. I would never have that paitence. I never knew that there were so many layers in the crust itself. I thought it was just one layer of igneous rock. That would also take a lot of money to do. I hope they are ready to pay that bill.
@andie It would be a very long time and it sounds boring but you could be amaized at what you could find drilling to the mantle of the earth. It could be fun and boring at the same time.
I don't think we should do it...not yet. It would take too long and cost too much money. $50,000 a day and 2 years = a total of $36,500,000. Geez. Although it would be good for reseach and that, the US has a ton of better stuff to spend their money on. Oh and the different chocolates as the layers of the earth was pretty cool.
SHEEZE that will take a LONG time! It takes so long and so much money! 2 years. 50,000 dollars a day Thats a total of $36,500,000! SHEEZE! And thats just an estimate!

That would take a very long time. I also think it would be very borning to do that.
you could not be able to drill a hole to the earth core because it is so hot.

we must not in the next 4 years, we must do it after our debt is paid off.

@Daniel
I also did not know there were so many layers.
@Tom
That's exatly what I was thinking! We have a huge dept on our hands, why not pay that off first?
@courtney:
it can be a bomb shelter for the usa.
SHEEZE that will take a LONG time! It takes so long and so much money!
2 years.
50,000 dollars a day
Thats a total of
$36,500,000! SHEEZE!
And thats just an estimate!
