Rockhound is a member of Harry Stampers crew, chosen by NASA to drill a hole into an asteroid headed towards earth. Loyal to Harry, Rockhound is also an opportunistic weasel, complete pervert and has total disregard for anything but what benefits him most. Upon discovering that NASA is requesting them to save the earth , it's Rockhound who suggests that the crew create a list of things they would like to get, example-never to have to pay taxes again. He also borrows $100K from a massive loan shark prior to the mission (his response to the guy lending him the money when asked if he was dying was no more than you ).Rockhound goes a little nutty in space, pulling stuch antics as imitating Dr Strangeglove pretending to rodeo the nuclear weapon, and using a machine gun cannon while in space. Although relieved he is not the one to have to detonate the bomb when the crew draws straws, he does show sorrow at the fact that Harry is the one who dies.Not much is known of Rockhound's past, however given his immediate defensive statements when the military board the oil rig vessel, chances are he has not lived the most moral of lives. He is, however, loyal to Harry and brillant at his job. He does survive the mission, lamenting he now owes money with a 20% interest to a loanshark.
