Fitted for a kid or small adult to minimize open air. Segmented compartments to place rocks or dive weights & adjust bouyancy.

I liked his response of "Yes" to someone suggesting an MP3 player to reduce stress

So basically, if they wait for this submarine/pod to get there and then check to see if it works, the boys won't be getting out for at least another two days. Yikes. It may not even work... Then what? Argh!

I think they'll try to wait for the extra cave divers to arrive. Depending on the water levels maybe the ones who are already there will make a start on moving the boys judged to be fittest physically and mentally for the dive. Then if any of the boys are still weak, maybe the pod can be used for them if they're too weak for the actual dive?

Elon Musk making “kid-sized submarine” to rescue teens in Thailand cave
Musk says that his team is building the contraption now. "Construction complete in about 8 hours, then 17 hour flight to Thailand," Musk tweeted just before noon, California time.

I realize things can only go as fast as they can go but I sure hope he can beat the heavy rains to get it installed.

I'm also following developments every day.
These boys' fortitude, spirit and optimism are commendable.

'Don't worry', Thai boys write from cave

And how much trial-testing can be done? Can't just put the kid in it and "give it a go" on-site...

Yeah I thought that was cool too!

Rain rain go away. Come again next month!

I wonder if they may try to swim the strongest out first, then use Elon’s pod for the weaker ones?

Here's the Space X website with tons of info and images of the Falcon rocket and its' parts. Still trying to find a good photo of the liquid oxygen transfer tube.

I've wondered that too. I wish we could get an update.
I do think they are planning on using his pod or he wouldn't be making it.

I hope they're sleeping. I hope they are completely rested and ready for what will soon come! I wonder when the kid size submarine will get to the cave? He said he had a 17 hour flight to Thailand and that it would take 7 hours to finish building. Anybody know how long ago he posted that tweet?

Never mind. I checked his twitter and it wasn't a tweet. Where did that info come from?

It was in a reply to a tweet. He said 8 hours to finish it plus 17 hours for the flight. That was approximately 6 hours ago.

 

[whitelilac]

Does anyone know if they are still considering sedation? I haven't seen any updates on the idea.
Twilight sedation for example...to reduce anxiety and eliminate panic attacks, claustrophia etc. as well as the memory of the dive/pod however they will be taken out...
A struggle underwater would seem potentially catastrophic, and use up a lot of oxygen.

I read an article where a couple of the rescued trapped miners in Chile speak of the ordeal and the aftermath. Many still suffer from PTSD.
These Thai kids are young though, maybe more resilient in recovering from this, but still.....

May the effort be a success for all 13, and the divers/rescuers.

Maybe this is it?

Thank for posting this. It sure helps to understand further.

And sending out 7 more of his engineers.

Wondering how one would maneuver a pod containing a kid if apparently divers even have to remove their tank to get through areas. Maybe the kids are small enough? Is it flexible?

 

[kkdj]

I wonder how much the boys are aware of what's going on in the outside world to try to help them. They sure have the world's heart.

If they do put him in a mini submarine, then maybe they can sedate them, slightly.

I think it is worth it to wait for this equipment, because EM has a great track record so far, and if anyone can get the impossible done, he can.

And there is no question that it is very dangerous to expect these kids to scuba dive in those horrid conditions.

This may be our miracle?
