It’s all fun and games until they split the Earth and then what, huh?

“It’s all fun and games until they split the Earth and then what, huh?”

Haven’t they seen the movies? There must have been at least five science fiction films since the 50’s with this theme, all ending fairly badly.

They made a horror movie with exactly that theme, saw it when I was a kid, can’t remember the name. A giant gun shot into the earth to do research and the crust starts to crack, and they can’t stop it.

IIRC there was a flick some 45-50 years ago with Dana Andrews as the scientist who was doing this exact operation. Despite his son in law’s warnings he fired a missile into the Great Rift. It caused a volcanic trench to open and travel across the Indian Ocean . If not stopped it would circle the globe, splitting the Earth in two. It was stopped by exploding a nuke, I think, in an inactive volcano in the trench’s path. Problem was the volcanic activity started a return to its point of origin. When it reached it the magma stream exploded and drove the mass between the two trenches into space, creating a new moon.
