Cringy seeing the media try to turn Musk's sub idea into a parable criticizing Silicon Valley improvisation culture. The rescue succeeded *because* the team rapidly iterated their way to a solution to a novel problem, taking huge risks. They deserve every bit of credit for that.

What protocols? I'm sorry, but cave dive rescue is mostly not a thing because so few rescue attempts happen, and even fewer are successful. The two divers who found the kids had never done a successful dive rescue before - all body recoveries (one following a failed rescue).

It's also been rarely reported that the hard shelled sub was actually a *second* attempt — SpaceX worked to help another company w/ a few soft, inflatable, stretcher-like rescue pods. The anti-SV argument just desn't work here (an exception IMO; usually I'd criticise SV).
