美国太空公司研制“小号潜艇”协助营救被困在岩洞里的泰国人

Space X rocket company is testing a "kid-sized submarine" that could help in the rescue operation of eight boys and their soccer coach still trapped in the flooded cave in northern Thailand.

On Sunday, the owner of Space X, Elon Musk, posted videos of the aluminum capsule being tested at a swimming pool of Palisades Charter High School, in Los Angeles, California.

A spokesman for Musk's Boring Company, which has sent four engineers at the cave, said that Thai officials requested the device.

The submarine would be placed on a 17-hour flight to Thailand, if the tests are reported to be successful.
