Stanton: rigid capsule better than rubber cocoon

I'm not sure about the rubber cocoon at it would transmit pressure onto the child. Rigid is better, plus O2 as a breathing gas rather than air.

About this email

Stanton advises against the rubber cocoon because it would transmit pressure to the child, and recommends oxygen as the breathing gas.

Notes

Musk Decl. Ex. C (email chain with British cave diver Richard Stanton, July 6-8, 2018). The exhibit prints the chain newest-first with timestamps from two mail clients (Pacific time and Thailand time), so the exact send time of individual messages is uncertain; the date is a best reading. Transcribed from a scanned exhibit; minor OCR variance possible. Musk posted screenshots of part of this chain on Twitter on July 10, 2018.
