Some good feedback from cave experts in Thailand. Iterating with them on an escape pod design that might be safe enough to try. Also building an inflatable tube with airlocks. Less likely to work, given tricky contours, but great if it does.

Tech-Billionaire, Elon Musk offered his help to the Thai Cave rescue operation and said he was building a small kid-sized submarine to save the boys.
Got more great feedback from Thailand. Primary path is basically a tiny, kid-size submarine using the liquid oxygen transfer tube of Falcon rocket as hull. Light enough to be carried by 2 divers, small enough to get through narrow gaps. Extremely robust.

He also gave other technical advice regarding the rescue mission and complimented the dive team, “Extremely talented dive team. Makes sense given monsoon. Godspeed.
SpaceX & Boring Co engineers headed to Thailand tomorrow to see if we can be helpful to govt. There are probably many complexities that are hard to appreciate without being there in person.

Musk tweeted, saying that engineers from his companies, Space X and Boring Co, were headed to Thailand to help the Thailand government.
