The engineer(s)/tech(s) name was never mentioned or the group members who came up with this. Why no credit? I'd be nice to read about a human with a name, a history, a story. I see that a lot in stories.

A few links in from this article are one about the problem with cutaway drawings of the drill[1] and a more detailed article about developing the fix[2] which includes a video[3].

It never ceases to amaze me when I see pics that look like they could have been taken anywhere on earth, but no that's on another planet and humans put a little hole there!

It's a testament to humanity's ingenuity that we managed to put a rover on Mars. I sometimes wonder if in 1000 years we will look back and think how primitive we were and curiosity will be in some museum.

Reading an article on gizmodo is like trying to assemble a puzzle from 10 internal links to it's own articles
