Not exactly "Space" news, but I think this technology could have a bearing on future space missions.

Enjoy your mini-retirement. Hopefully the economy has recovered by the time you decide to attempt to re-enter the workforce.
Re: Order of the Stick
But we don't need to go to those lengths of conjecture. We have seen Durkon use Stone Shape in the past to get though a wall, and both it and the current spell's effects have a wiggly-bordered hole in the wall. I think it is a simple case of 1+1=2.
Re: Order of the Stick
It's a possibility. I am not an expert on the literally thousands of spells that have been published for use in D&D. I am only going by what I have seen in this webcomic.
Re: Order of the Stick
I thought Passwall made a uniformly circular hole in the wall (for the duration). That looks more like either some illusion, or some sort of spacial distortion effect IMO.
EDIT: Yep, Passwall is definitely different. http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0857.html
EDIT 2: Aha! He used Stone Shape. http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0732.html
Re: More space news!
Now, if the rover released the cable from its end at contact, then the reduction in weight of the hover stage would make it fly up rather sharply, taking the unneeded length of cable with it.
