It’s only the thing protecting us from the murderous intent of cosmic rays, but what the hell.
Huh? What, the magnetic field generated by the solid iron core rotating? They're only trying to get 12 miles down. There's not enough fissile material on this earth to blow the core of the fucking earth apart, even if you dropped a direct nuke through the mantel somehow....
The fastest we can make something go with gravity assists in the Solar System is something like 2-3% of the speed of light before the object permanently escapes the Sun's gravity.
Would making a stream of nukes 2-3% of the speed of light help drill to the center of Earth?
