    That is what humanity's greatest moments look like, this is their man on the moon. Well done well done
    Man on the moon was something novel of the like had never been done before.

    They managed to dig down to a depth that their miners were already at. Bravo on the speed and bravo for the miners not loosing it, but I think "man on the moon" is hyperbole.

    It's pretty amazing what they've done, but to be honest, the footage is a bit boring.

    a bit boring???

    I think the only way the news channels can top this is to actually start broadcasting paint drying!

    I´m glad the miners got out ok.....but this is way too boring to warrant hours and hours of live broadcasting of a bunch of people standing around a well.

    kk but I'm a drama-whore. Still an amazing rescue, not just a mine but a collapsed mine so instable as can be. Now that they are out it doesn't look all that much but it was incredibly dangerous. Tons of feelgood.

    The footage here was pretty good:
