Did you know a8out the Kola Superdeep 8orehole? It is the deepest hole on the planet earth, spanning over 40, 230 feet deep! (Or 12, 262 meters.) It is actually a piece of a grander design at play, you know. On earth, the nations known as the United States and the Soviet Union were fiercely competitive as rival government superpowers. One of the most recogniza8le ways that this rivalry was made manifest was in the Space Race, with 8oth governments attempting to expand their operations outside of their planet's atmosphere the fastest and most technologically efficient. 8ut at around the same time as that, 8ack on terra firma, there was another contest 8rewing. The United States and the Soviet Union were trying to plunder the secrets of the earth as well as the stars, and once again, the Soviets had a much firmer lead. The Kola Superdeep 8orehole project was dug in the Murmank O8last in Russia. They collected a great deal of soil samples from it, 8ut even at such an impressive depth, it was nowhere even close to penetrating the earth's crust!

Oh, Aranea! Look at you holeposting. (Thank you for sharing, how fascinating!)

You posted about hole, joining the (admittedly earlier) trend. Or was that unintentional?
Oh my goodness I didn't know!!!!!!!! I didn't know!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
#1 Hole post on this entire site. You have claimed the hole leadership role.
i bet if i pointed my crosshairs at the ground on that fragile planet it wwould pierce straight though the other side still a fascinatin tale of futility
While Aha8's Crosshairs is a legendary...piece of 8rilliant Alternian engineering, it still has its limits. I *would* argue in favor of it undou8tedly making quite a 8it of headway through the earth's crust, though!
