Pretty cool stuff. It's still a very unexplored area in science. It may take some time before anything definitive comes from this, but they are going three times deeper than has been done before. And when you go into unexplored territory like that, be it on the moon, or an unkown continent during the age of geographical exploration, you are bound to turn up something unexpected and exciting.

A bit behind the times. Heck, Pat Boone took the trip back in 1959 and sent back vacation pics.

After the drilling, the hole will probably become a deep well injection site for toxic chemicals. It's happened before.

If Professor Gold's theory, that hydrocarbons are not of biologic origin but arise from deep within the earth is true, then the Japanese should hit oil or gas.

Although, it would be refreshing to see John Agar and Hugh Beaumont fighting monsters again.

"The Japanese ship Chikyu intends to drill seven kilometres (4.3 miles) below the sea bed"
I sure wish I'd have known they were interested in getting to the center of the earth a little sooner....
I would have lent them my dog who has been there several times while chasing a mole...

Not the deepest.
The soviets drilled to over 12 kilometers (SG-3) on the Kola Peninsula working from 1970 to 1989.
