Is it possible to drill a hole straight through a planet? Could we bore a hole through the centre of Earth? What would it be like to fling yourself through it? The Dead Planets Society podcast digs deep into the potential hazards

Not possible. The center of Earth is extremely hot molten metal. If we could drill down that far you probably wouldn’t want to fling yourself in there.
@SonicBlue03 The podcast is basically a thought exercise on discussing the make up of planets and how they vary. Of course, the hot molten metal in Earth was brought up in the first 30 seconds. They then go on discuss small rocky, gas giants, and etc. It was an interesting way to look at planetary science.
I skimmed the post and commented. Sorry about that. We don’t often think about the inside of Earth. It’s as fascinating as the rest.
True. We constantly look to the starts, but really do not even know what is beneath our feet.
