jpZelabal + 63 jj July 9, 2018 (edited) The billionaire entrepreneur and engineers at his private spaceflight company SpaceX have designed a “kid-size submarine” that they say could help with a harrowing rescue operation underway to retrieve a group of boys trapped in a flooded cave in Thailand. And it's already on its way. On Monday, Musk shared photos and videos of the rescue pod on Twitter, including footage of engineers testing the device in a pool in Los Angeles and maneuvering the metallic pod through a simulated narrow passageway underwater.

Pavel + 384 PP July 9, 2018 It's a great idea. But, that doesn't look like it would go through that cave system especially as some parts won't take a man and an oxygen tank! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rainman + 263 July 9, 2018 I wonder... did they check the profile of the cave? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThunderBlade + 231 TB July 9, 2018 As they've already got 8 of the 12 out of the cave I think you can save money posting this out to Thailand. Good idea nonetheless. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
