Halliburton on Mars?

From an article in the February, 2001 edition of Petroleum News:
http://www.petroleumnews.com/pnarch/010228-49.html

"If there is life on Mars, it would probably be microorganisms in water
deep below the surface of the planet. Dr. Geoffrey Briggs, director,
Center for Mars Exploration at the NASA Ames Center, told “Meet Alaska”
that NASA is looking at ways to drill on Mars to look for water — and
the life it might contain.

Briggs said NASA has been working with Halliburton, Shell, Baker-Hughes
and the Los Alamos National Laboratory to identify drilling technologies
that might work on Mars."

I found it amusing; with Halliburton at the helm, "The Conquest Of
Space" really will mean _conquest_.

I'm pretty sure they could _overcome_ any male invasion force.

This is simple, Halliburton knows drilling, looking for
stuff on Mars that is not on the surface requires
looking, ya know, like, *below* the surface. Which
tends to imply drilling. Usually, people buy stuff
for drilling from companies who have, in the past,
been known to sell drilling related equipment.

That's because they are EXPERIENCED. Good god, people need to
seriously let go of this "black helicopter" conspiracy mentality.

We're going back to the moon, baby! Embrace it.
