| "Briefly catch the Romulan orbital mining drill in action in this exciting trailer from the new Star Trek movie at about 1'25.

| "There's also the absurdly effective drilling technology in the amusingly ridiculous sci-fi adventure movie 'The Core.' If we can just apply Moore's Law to '100 feet per hour' ..." (to the center of the earth ! 6/15/2009 3:43:21 AM) |
| "Sweet. Just one question; what happens when the drill hits a natural gas deposit?" (SantaBJ 6/15/2009 7:07:21 PM) |

| "There was also a one shot drill from space in the Alien vs. Predator movie." (Aric 6/16/2009 7:11:58 PM) |
