The button-smashing decision is crystal clear! Training astronauts to drill takes years of specialized education, but grabbing oil riggers who already know how to drill and giving them a crash course in "don't touch that in space" is engineering efficiency at its finest. NASA probably watched Armageddon and thought "wait, that's actually brilliant." Classic engineering solution: why reinvent the drill when you can just strap a spacesuit on someone who already knows which end goes into the ground? Honestly, this is the same logic that got us duct tape on Apollo 13 - pragmatism always wins in a crisis!
