wouldn't be surprised if they just helicopter yank it out. Once they get the superficial mud out of the way, and wash away the Dougway contaimination (;-)) it shouldn't be that difficult to get it about 10 feet up and lowered onto a flatbed from the proving grounds. Keep up the blow by blow... its nice to read, while still at work. Cheers, JH. Jim Gibson wrote:
They dug a pit around the module and the mud was sticking to the shovels as the lifted it (the mud) out of the pit. All the work has stopped now and only 4 guys remain in the picture. The module is still in the gournd. I anticipate that they are waiting for something to arrive; rope maybe.

The science module which looks like a flying saucer is still stuck in the mud edge on. There are now at least 3 shovels at work there and no vehicles are present because of the softness of the ground. I am guessing that they should have it out of the ground fairly soon. I can see what's going on but I have no autio.
