I've been captivated with the coverage of the Chile rescue operation all morning, and I've been thinking about how I'd spend those last 15 minutes before reaching the surface and trying to restart a normal life.
What would you think about in the capsule?
Would you do anything out of the ordinary (aside from sitting in the cavern), like pray if you haven't been thus far, etc?
What would be the first thing you'd want to say to your family? The President who is more than enjoying his 15 hours of fame?
I'm exceptionally claustrophobic, so I'd probably be in the capsule with my eyes shut with those noise-cancelling headphones on, singing Madonna to myself to pass the time- that's about 3-4 songs worth and it would keep my mind busy. I think the "please God get me out of here" would have worn out a few weeks ago, and repeating it at a rapid pace would make time slow down. The first thing I'd say to my family is "hola", and the first thing I'd say to the President is "thank you, now what the fuck took you so long!?".
