Elon Musk Will Ship "Kid Mini-Sub" To Thailand In A Few Hours

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. — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) July 7, 2018

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. — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) July 7, 2018 Construction complete in about 8 hours, then 17 hour flight to Thailand — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) July 7, 2018 I'm in LA working with the SpaceX team building the kid mini-sub — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) July 7, 2018
