A thought... If you take this as being part of some future, that doesn't necessarily mean the miner is underground... Science Fiction is FULL of stories of people signing long contracts to mine one resource or another in some far away sector of space, very often asteroids (capturing/processing) from a ship or EVA suit... just putting that out there...

For me the feeling of longing is what I always get, whatever it's for... it drips from this song... another amazing one from a truly awesome album.

Specifically, the story "Lulungomeena" by Gordon R. Dickson comes to mind... long contracts far away from home, I could see a Dial-A-View being there...
