MARS SPECIAL INTEREST MISSIONS: NASA NOW WORKS FOR HALLIBURTON

NASA Ames Center looks at problem of drilling on Mars

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.

The first goal, he said, would be “to drill a hole down into the permafrost,
maybe 100 meters as a trial of the technology; ultimately we want to go to
several kilometers.”

The earliest drilling opportunity would be 2007, and one of the problems
will be power. A very power-efficient system might cut out cores a meter at
a time, Briggs said, perhaps grinding away at material needed to get the
core at a rate of one core a day for hundreds of days.

Deeper drilling, into the multi-kilometer range, might occur as part of a
2014 Mars mission which would put astronauts on the planet to assist.

Los Alamos developed a melting tool intended for use in high-technical
geothermal drilling, he said, and that’s one of the things NASA is looking
at. The melting tool would also “tend to sterilize the hole on the way down”
which would help with the problem of contamination issues.

Halliburton and Baker-Hughes are working on some very advanced systems,
Briggs said, some so advanced they aren’t willing to talk much about them.
He said the NASA Ames Center relies on working with people in the industry
who “really understand the problems and make us face up to the realities …

“We do appreciate,” he said, “that this is a non-trivial activity.”

And as a side note: There's be no reason to expect oil on Mars if NASA
didn't have prior undisclosed knowledge that Mars once had abundant planet
and animal life.

NASA is lying to the public big time.

Reposting the same stuff from no-name slobs, one doesn't make it true or,
two, doesn't make it a bad thing.

or,
two, doesn't make it a bad thing.

I wish the sissies at NASA would WAKE UP and smell the coffee!
NASA
scientists are being manipulated by special interest agendas
because
Bush
Sr's Carlyle now has controlling intrest in interest! (and
Echelon)

NASA is in complete conflict of interest with the United States
Government.

NASA Ames Center looks at problem of drilling on Mars


Kristen Nelson

PNA Editor-in-Chief


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.

The first goal, he said, would be "to drill a hole down into
the
permafrost,
maybe 100 meters as a trial of the technology; ultimately we
want
to
go
to
several kilometers."

The earliest drilling opportunity would be 2007, and one of
the
problems
will be power. A very power-efficient system might cut out
cores
a
meter
at
a time, Briggs said, perhaps grinding away at material needed
to
get
the
core at a rate of one core a day for hundreds of days.

Deeper drilling, into the multi-kilometer range, might occur
as
part
of
a
2014 Mars mission which would put astronauts on the planet to
assist.

Los Alamos developed a melting tool intended for use in
high-technical
geothermal drilling, he said, and that's one of the things
NASA
is
looking
at. The melting tool would also "tend to sterilize the hole on
the
way
down"
which would help with the problem of contamination issues.

Halliburton and Baker-Hughes are working on some very advanced
systems,
Briggs said, some so advanced they aren't willing to talk much
about
them.
He said the NASA Ames Center relies on working with people in
the
industry
who "really understand the problems and make us face up to the
realities .

"We do appreciate," he said, "that this is a non-trivial
activity."

And as a side note: There's be no reason to expect oil on
Mars
if
NASA
didn't have prior undisclosed knowledge that Mars once had
abundant
planet
and animal life.

NASA is lying to the public big time.
