Olympus Mons is the limit to how much Mars' crust holds before the lithosphere begins to sag under its own weight, and it'd be similar. On Earth, Phobos would sink most of the way through. The moon? Probably barely.

Why don't we colonize Earth's core?

I kid, I kid

I seriously think you should propose this to Zubrin. Fire him an email. I think he'd be quite interested.

...And then VASMIR becomes produced commercially in 100 years and we have 7 day Mars shuttles. How about month-long Saturnian voyages?

P.S. Don't take the Neptune shuttles, two months of rooms that smell slightly like vomit.
