I know we in the United States always thought we could do anything better than anyone else, but after the debacle/disaster that was Katrina, we now know better. Here is proof. They’re not all out yet, but they are being rescued safely and a couple of months earlier than first projected. Well done Chile! Apparently NASA helped with keeping the miners healthy both physically and mentally by using techniques developed for astronauts. Well done NASA, too! I cannot imagine being down there for 69 days. Or even six days. Courageous men.
