Failed Connection



The crew finally embarked on digging channels. First, of course, from Anatolia, where most of the members pulled together during the very first hours. They started out to the west, and at the same time, some pioneers started to munch their way from Loch Ard towards the east.
The booklet which came with the space habitat from Antworks(R), speaks about the ant's capability for teamwork, which allows them to connect tunnels as if they would follow the instructions of a senior architect ant.
So the tunnel from Loch Ard (A1) was indeed heading towards the the tunnel from Birnie's (B1) and me and a bottle of red wine were eagerly awaiting the historic moment when they would finally meet each other, to celebrate the first tunnel connection of this habitat.
It did not work out as expected, as you can see in the picture above. They missed each other a little bit. OK this was a first try, this can happen sometimes and they missed each other by about 1 centimeter only.
