Wait, wait, wait...
6 kilometers plus 4 more for the ocean? To reach the mantle? On what fucking planet? Not earth. The earth's crust is nearly 34 k thick. 6 k will not even be as deep as the Russians went (12 k ). Even including the ocean they are only going 10 k. I call bull shit on this story.

I am speaking of the life of a man who knows that the world is not given by his fathers, but borrowed from his children; who has undertaken to cherish it and do it no damage, not because he is duty-bound, but because he loves the world and loves his children… - Wendell Berry, 1971

I wouldn't worry about it. They aren't even going 1/6 of the way through the crust. Last I heard, we don't have the ability to drill any further than the Russians did because the heat and pressure bind the drill and stop it from turning.

I was wondering about that too and had to browse:
The trench is not the part of the seafloor closest to the center of the Earth. This is because the Earth is not a perfect sphere; its radius is about 25 kilometres (16 mi) less at the poles than at the equator.[5] As a result, parts of the Arctic Ocean seabed are at least 13 kilometres (8.1 mi) closer to the Earth's center than the Challenger Deep seafloor.
