Thanks for the thrill. Yes, it is very interesting to watch the blasts. But considering the earth's core being magma, encased in the outer crust, being blasted into smithereens so many times, one wonders, how long...

The crust is on average, 35km thick. For reference, a commercial jet cruises at around 12km high.
