Many a child has dreamed of digging a hole deep enough in their backyard to get to China. Unfortunately, they're usually not armed with the right equipment. According to Business Insider, some hyper-specialized tools are required--and most of them don't exist yet. Besides that, digging from anywhere in the US would make you end up in the middle of the Indian Ocean. So you'd have to start either in Argentina or Chile. At the bottom of the first of the Earth's layers, you'd need lots of insulation, as the temperature is around 180 degrees Celsius. Digging through the second layer, you'd have to switch from a heat-resistant drill to a heat-resistant propeller, as the pressure is so high the rock melts. At the third layer, you'd need a super heat-and pressure-proof submarine that moves like rockets in space by shooting fuel out the back end. Easy!
