Trapped Miners Rescue

[bearfan]

I have been reading quite a bit about this lately and how NASA has helped out with this rescue.  I really think it is a marvel what they have been able to do in a short time(though I am sure it has seemed like an eternity for those trapped). 


How the rescue will happen

Feel sorry for the one who realises when he gets to the surface that he forgot to clock in.

Its a pretty awesome thing that they survived, and that our tech level allowed them to live and be rescued.

However, the guy that has both his wife and mistress waiting for him...yeah, that's a mixture of joy and fear.

Yeah, If I were that guy, I might offer to stay behind, it's probably safer

I'm very glad everyone is safe and in atleast decent condition. I'm also glad that they got the miners out before the first-expected December date. It'll be interesting to find out how their mental health survived down there for so long.
