## Resource

An Aussie cave-diving legend with a military past and a dream of Mars is now deep underground in Laos, helping rescue two missing people. Josh Richards, known for discovering massive cave extensions in Australia’s Limestone Coast and overcoming claustrophobia through underwater weightlessness, was called in last week after returning from Japan. His small frame, water-born calm, and elite diving skills make him a perfect fit — and his friends say stepping up is just who he is. This mission echoes Australia’s global diving reputation, highlighted by past heroes like Harris and Challen who saved lives in Thailand. Richards sees this as the next chapter in his lifelong quest to explore the unknown. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
