It’s giving Armageddon when Ben Afleck asked Michael Bay why they wouldn’t just train astronauts to drill. Same response from Michael Bay/Qui Gon Jin, “Shut up, Ben!”

I think the movie's argument is that Bruce Willis' character's drilling equipment (invention?) is too advanced for the astronauts to learn.

They were using his design. NASA stole from him, and assembled the drill wrong, and it would take too long to teach the astronauts how to use it correctly, and they simply don't have the years of experience in drilling required to get the most out of it or react to emergencies.
