Actually, the odd thing about the space dive that I noticed... When Discovery ran their little montage of him getting ready, and climbing into the capsule... I had the music from Buckaroo Banzai running through my head... specifically, the build up to the rocket car sequence... LOL

Maybe I've been watching too many of these movies...
