“I can get both Fox and CNN audio on my XM radio. Is that Shep Smith blabbering on Fox?”

It was, but he was getting all wee-weed up so they went to O’Reilly!

I’m just hoping the “psychologists” and “behavioral scientists” don’t hound these guys to death.

I was wondering if any of them would volunteer to go to Mars!

CNN is saying that there are 3 of these rescue capsules and that they will alternate using two of them.

That is what the Queen of the Drama is all about, Yes? Seriesly, I can endure only tiny bits of the blabber.

Like right now - explaining what is "tunnel liner". Duh.

“I can endure only tiny bits of the blabber.”

That’s what the mute button is for! One of the greatest inventions ever!

The cable may be causing the pod to spin in the direction of the lay of the cable winding. It should have a big swivel at the top and bottom to allow the cable to “play” freely.

I had a telephone with an "unkink" device on the cord that attached the handset to the rest of the phone. This allowed the cord to "spin" and unkink itself, and it worked great.

I wonder why they have it at an angle like that?

I heard it was related to the strata they encountered

Geees you would have tought they would have centered the wheel above so the cable was in the center of the shaft. Could it be because of the curve of the shaft a t depth?

Interesting how they’re using the block to get the angle right on the lowering cable.

Remember when Deputy Barney Fife organized a rescue of Andy and Helen Crump from a cave in?
