      Nobody really knows what AMSOC did, because it wasn't a real organization. The "rules" were that anyone who applied for membership automatically became a founding member and that whenever there were two members in the same place, they could take any initiative in AMSOC's name without consulting other members. According to John Knauss, "Two of AMSOC’s earliest committees were one to inform animals of their proper taxonomic classification and another seeking to establish groups around the world prepared to greet visitors from outer space." The organization only became "real" briefly in the late 50s and early 60s for the first phase of Project Moho.
      One thing the group is still remembered for is the Albatross award, which was an actual taxidermied albatross that they gave to people for various reasons. The first group to receive the award was the three people who came up with the idea.

      Now the temperature at the center of the Earth is expected to get up 6000c. Rocket engines get up to about 3400c in the combustion chamber. So just active cooling won't work, but rocket engines also have to be mass efficient. Mass doesn't matter here.

    Somewhat missing info: China is currently drilling two seperate 10 km+ holes, though they are not going for the depth record just yet, and also has launched a drilling ship capable of going up to 11 km below the ocean floor last year. So they might actually beat that US/Japan/EU collaboration project to the mantle.

    They said I didn't need their advice. I could just read their free resources. I don't know what would be good for me; I don't know how to know; but I'm sure having more heaps of information is better.

      The technology of the world is filled with pointless science. that start with "Why not?" and then decade later some guy stumble upon it and think another way and say. Holyshit this stupid science they do happen to be useful with another technology we think of. (Like Boolean algebra and Quaternion)
      Like this hole, we can dig and learn about how to dig a hole, which can be use to build something that deep in case we need something that deep. or dig the relatively harder crust of other planet (or apply to softer planet like sam play dough).
      You in there because you want to dig a hole. Not because you have to. You have the passion from the start. And in future someone might found it useful.
