    Noel ThomasAs I recall, the ejecta flanks of the Barringer crater have been used for astronaut training and equipment tests, since Project Apollo in the 1960’s. Due to the geological composition of the crater it has provided an ideal site for exploration tests, including sampling and drilling using hand held tools, including the coring drill.
