It was also getting expensive

The drill bit also broke twice I think

They made some impressive discoveries too, such as pockets of water

Pretty sure the Soviet Union collapsed around then as well.

It started in 1970, but it was last open prior/during the collapse

Why would they continue digging? what do you want the goal to be? do you want them to reach magma? do you think digging all the way to magma is a good idea?

Yes

Where you find risk, others find discovery

also rive, you ask why they didn't go deeper yet the pic you posted explains why

obviously with proper precautions the risks are minimized but what's the point?

to see how deep the crust actually is

It would help estimates

yes it explains why, but apparently, it's cool to not accept wtv logical explanation is given and just come up with theories that are less than plausible.

It's also direct observation, which is something people here want for some reason

you want magma? go check out active volcanos

Magma that comes out of the earth (via a volcano) is called "lava".

d a m n

he got you there

and if you bring the surface of the earth via digging, the magma you reach will also be called lava.

Yep

so unless you're able to send a probe that digs and fills the hole behind it, you'll never reach magma, always lava

all probes would do that

well, if you dig the hole and send the probe after, the probe didn't do that

Actually

Why would you send a probe

kola just used a measured drill bit

There were also sensors on it

You described a probe.
Probe: a device used to penetrate or send back information.

> penetrate
