Okay, whether the moon landing was real or fake... Fake. These achievements pushed both countries to explore further and higher than ever before. It also pushed them to explore deeper, a new competition, the race to the center of the Earth. The American program was called Project Moho. The first borehole was drilled in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Mexico in 1961.

But the program suffered from poor management and lack of funding. The Russian drilling program was more focused. They chose a location on the Kola Peninsula for their hole. The Kola Superdeep borehole penetrated one-third of the way through the Earth's crust, over 12 kilometers down. And these are the public projects. The Soviets also had a secret drilling project.

The world finally learned about it when a whistleblower came forward in 1989. He claimed that buried deep beneath the Earth, was hell.

Actual hell. He said the Russians accidentally discovered it deep beneath Siberia. And he said there was proof.

To those who discounted the Siberia sounds from Hell's Story, it is true, and I, for one, wish it wasn't.

In 1989, Dr. Dmitry Azakov and a group of scientists were working on a borehole drilling project in Siberia. When the drill reached 14.4 kilometers or nine miles deep, the drill bit started rotating wildly. It had somehow broken through solid rock and into a hollow area under the Earth's crust. This cavity wasn't supposed to be there.

When the drill returned to the surface, it was literally glowing red hot. This also was unexpected. The temperatures at these depths should be about 100 degrees, 150 degrees at most. Instruments were reading temperatures of over 1100 degrees. Dr. Asikoff said it seems like an inferno is in the center of the earth.

The next discovery, according to Dr. Asikoff, was the most shocking and caused some people to leave the project. At the surface, they heard strange sounds coming from the hole. At first, the engineers thought it was their equipment, so they shut down all the machinery, but the sound was still there.
