Mighty Miners’s

This week saw the rescue of the 33 Chilean miner’s from their underground home which they shared for the last 2+months. I was really fascinated with the rescue bits and what they did. I think the 3 things that really caught my eye were (a) That Capsule which they so appropriately named the Phoenix would make a great capsule in those fun fair merry-go-round thingy. (b) I would love to get my hands on that liquid food that they gave the miners to make them not get dizzy or vomit on the ride up. I;m sure it would help with my sea and air sickness. (c) The other thing from NASA that really caught my eye were those special underwear that they gave the men which was used on space flights. Keeps fresh for days, I would really love to get my hands on it then no need to change for months woo hoo. Been hinting to the missus to get me one for Christmas.

Well I’m just glad the miner’s are safe. Well Done to the men and women who got them out.
