Drill decision

[jay]

I won the day... the option selected by the other Mars-analog project was to buy a second copy of my DAME project's drill, with some additional segment-handling automation. So we will combine automation development and get economies of scale (and political momentum). I've been forcefully arguing for months that that was the best drill design... it helps that I'm confident, persuasive, persistent and have my facts lined up. And am quick and forceful in speaking on my feet. And no, I realize that that isn't the Brian that some of you are used to seeing in local social spaces, but... tough. I'm in my element here. And if a descendant of that drill ends up on Mars in 2011, I will have left a fingerprint on it. (wink)
