Musk said it could also work as "an escape pod in space."
The billionaire entrepreneur and engineers at his private spaceflight company SpaceX designed a “kid-size submarine” that they said could help with a harrowing rescue operation underway to retrieve a group of boys trapped in a flooded cave in Thailand.
It arrived on Monday night, and the mogul shared some thoughts and photos on his Twitter account:

i heard that six boys were already rescued by divers? In any case I really admire that fellow Musk for his good will and efforts.
ReplyDeleteAll 13 (12&1) I believe and the sub might be of use later. I'm amazed that none of the kids freaked out.
DeleteHmmm, now this other side of the coin:

Just couldn't help himself. Don't these people know who he is? Thanks Brock. I am GLAD that these kids made it out okay. That is always the priority. Cheers.
Musk is odd, but the "sub" might have been helpful, especially if someone were injured/sick and couldn't swim.
ReplyDeleteI don't want to say anything too negative about the guy for trying to help.
I imagine that it will be used at some point.
