A Daring Thailand Rescue and Doing What You Can With What You Have | Thoughts from an Engineer - a podcast by Alex G. Orphanos, Science Communicator

In this episode, Alex shares his thoughts (as an engineer) on the daring rescue in Thailand of the Wild Boar soccer team and their coach. He also shares some info on how Elon Musk developed two backup solutions for the Thai Navy Seals in the event that it was not possible to save the kids and their coach.

The big question for this week was: "Why are people hating on Elon Musk, a wealthy and influential person, who is doing what he can with what he has?"
