Drilling on Mars



Quinyang and I were drilling core samples for geology class, and she thought it was funny that we were surrounded by two giant industrial drilling machines. They were sitting quietly while they recharged their solar-powered batteries.

"Hey, imagine if we came back with a core from one of these monsters," she said as she pushed her tiny drill into the frozen ground.

"I have a theory that Dr. Santos would give us an 'A+' for it," I said.

Quinyang laughed, saying, "Remember what Niels Bohr said?"

Together we both said, "Your theory is crazy, but it's not crazy enough to be true."

If you have theories about working on Mars, tell me about them at
