Jason Statham and the Origins of the Space Race

Project Mohole was an attempt to find the lower limit of the Earth's crust. It is very, very thick on land and much thinner over the ocean. They tried to get down beyond this thin layer of crust where it meets the mantle. The weirdest thing was that there was a ship which was sent to do the drilling operation. To keep it stable in the same bit of the ocean, their solution was they fitted propellers all the way around the outside and they just fired them all at the same time. Did you know that Jason Momoa... Absolutely not. Who became Aquaman later in his career. First studied marine biology when he was at university before transferring to wildlife biology.
