Good running commentary, informative and not too invasive.

Joe just told Felix to make sure he ducks his head before he goes out the door (near-final item on checklist rehearsal). It sounds funny, but Russian parachutist Pyotr Dolgor died after his suit decompressed during a 93,970-foot jump in 1962. Some think he cracked the faceplate as he exited the craft.

Everest isn't in Roswell and neither is the sea I don't think
