Me too. Amazing. I wish he was our President.

Made possible by American drillers and American made drills from PA. When the mining company needed the best in the world - they knew who to call.

The President is speaking again so the whole world can hear what he is saying but no teleprompters. How is that possible?

How is the last guy gonna get the thing lined up just right?

I hear ya!

Mid America could handle it fine. Not sure about people from any of the 50 biggest metro regions in the country, though...

What a moment when that capsule came through the roof! I having doubts about any second guy going down. I think we may see the first guy come up.

Seeing that father running to be there when his son emerges makes me all teary. So nervous still, praying all goes well.

“How is the last guy gonna get the thing lined up just right?”

I’ve been wondering the exact same thing. Unless it doesn’t come completely out of the shaft.

It will take time to get this organized, and get them out. Evaluation and safety is paramount. So far, so good and this is going to go on for quite some time. Patience is needed.

The best mining drills in the world are made in Latrobe, PA. Company called Kennametal. They have the best patents.
