Breaking The Record
Despite the fact that Lone Star was unable to discover what it was, the endeavor continued for another five years. It was possible to reach the planet’s surface through the nine-inch-wide hole by 1983, which was an incredible 39,000 feet. On June 6, 1979, a borehole known as SG-3 broke the previous record.
After That Milestone
Having reached this milestone, the Kola Peninsula researchers have taken the decision to temporarily shut down their instruments. They took a year off from working on it and allowed several visitors to come and see the wonderful place.
