When it comes to asteroid mining, the right drilling technique can make all the difference between a successful haul and a catastrophic failure. In this chapter, we'll cover the fundamentals of drilling in the vacuum of space.
Our first topic is the trusty old friend of asteroid miners everywhere: Rotary Drilling. This technique involves using a spinning drill bit to carve out chunks of valuable minerals from the asteroid's surface.
But wait, there's more! Our next chapter delves into the world of Rotation Drilling, where we'll explore the intricacies of drilling at high speed and with precision.
