WHEN YOU VISIT NEW PLANETS YOU MUST EXPECT THE UNEXPECTABLE They are forced to rube-goldberg and to improvise as they go because of this just like Apollo 13... SOME SCIENTIST geologist or chemist SOMEWHERE IN THE WORLD MAY BE ABLE TO ANALYZE THIS BUT NOT LAYMEN LIKE US. Maybe digging is not the most sophisticated approach ....but they are stuck with it now. Future landers from ESA and NASA will have more sophisticated instruments and techniques and will give answers faster. to nedreck :
