Thats a lot of money, but as I see it the proposal would do more for society than the current administration's tax break for millionaires, and it costs a lot less. They just had to put that in.
BTW, it would only be zero-G inside a hollow sphere at the exact center.

I read something recently about creating semiconductors out of diamond. That should at least solve the heat resistance problem.

Presumably there is some critical depth at which the iron blob would stall because the pull of gravity is insufficient to move it further or provide more gravitational energy.I estimate the stall depth to be about 6,378 kilometers from the center. (Only an estimate, I could be wrong.)

It may be a long time until we can probe the Earths core, but we should make a start. Why? What's the benefit?

with a mass of about 108 kilograms, the amount of iron in a sphere about 30 meters in diameter. WTF ? a 30 meter BALL of melted iron is gonna weigh MUCH MORE.

A sphere of iron 30m across masses 108 kg? I think not. Dunno the specific gravity of iron, but 10800 metric tons is more like it....
Weird idea, but a crummy article.

to do a 38 minute in-vacuum free-fall through the Earths interior gravitational field to the other side of the planet...If I remember right, if a hole were bored all the way through the center of the Earth and an object of sufficient tolerance to temperature, etc,were dropped in the hole, it would have a period of oscillation of 84 minutes. BTW that is also the period of a satellite at the surface of the (smooth) Earth. In addition, a pendulum of infinite length, with its mass swinging at the surface of the Earth, would have a period of 84 minutes. You're welcome...

We could revive the MOHOLE project.
It only got about 1,000 feet before funding was cut off because of project directors feuding.

What 'earthly' reason could there be for this type of incursion to the center of our planet?
