I love this part from the article: This would not be the first time that a sample of the mantle would be recovered however, as volcanoes and such have been forcing under-crust material to the surface for eons; it would be the first time that a sample was found though that hasn’t been tainted by the process that brought it up to us, and that scientists say, is worth whatever the cost might add up to over time as the project carries on through years of laborious drilling.

Whatever the cost. Scientists say, so there ya go!

Pretty good scam for the scientists that hatched the plot, err, experiment. Cush, well paying jobs for like forever.
