Unmanned? Nah, lets just assemble a team of oil drillers and send them up there like space cowboys.

It'll be easier to teach drillers to fly shuttles than it would be to teach astronauts how to dig a hole.

Wouldn't it be easier to train astronauts to drill?

Nah, you see this mission needs someone real smart. And when someone talks about smart people in smart professions, do you think about astronauts? No of course not. (Unless they are really really old astronauts, like geriatric, then yes.) instead you think about rough necks. That's right, you think of guys who drill holes in the ground.
