美國太空公司研製“小號潛艇”協助營救被困在巖洞裏的泰國人

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.美國太空技術探索公司正在測試一艘“小號潛艇”，可能有助於泰國當局營救依然困在一個被洪水淹沒出口的巖洞裏的八名男孩和他們的足球教練。

公司擁有者埃隆·馬斯克星期天將工作人員在美國加州一所高中的游泳池測試這艘鋁製水下密封艙的視頻上傳到網上。

馬斯克的公司已經向泰國營救行動派遣了四名工程師。公司一名發言人說，泰國官員們向馬斯克提出了研製“小號潛艇”的要求。

如果試驗成功，這艘“小號潛艇”將會由一個17小時的航班空運到泰國。
