How readily could we put on Mars a drill capable of getting cores from 50 feet down? Here on Earth, we could go much deeper (miles), but such a drill would be huge. Something smaller, though, might still provide useful data. I figure a camera would scan all the way around the core as it came out and send the images back to Earth.<br /><br />Once it completed one core, if we could then move the drill a few kilometers and get another core, that would be even better. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <hr style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em" />Will Pittenger<hr style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em" />Add this user box to your Wikipedia User Page to show your support for the SDC forums: <div style="margin-left:1em">{{User:Will Pittenger/User Boxes/Space.com Account}}</div> </div>
