The project came to be called the "No Hole", and was discontinued by the US Congress in 1966 due to ever-rising costs and the fact that they had only managed to drill to a depth of 601 ft.[1] References1. ^1 {{cite book| last = Bryson| first = Bill| authorlink = Bill Bryson| title = A Short History of Nearly Everything| edition = Special Illustrated|date= November 2005| origyear = 2003| publisher = Doubleday, Canada| isbn = 0-385-66198-3| page = 270| quote = }} External links
