Note: Major Charper, the shuttle pilot whose last appearance in the strip was under the shadow of a cascade of rock and dirt, survived his subsequent burial. He got his helmet up just in time, and spent the next twenty-two hours breathing and drinking things his powered-fullerene flight suit recycled from things he didn't need anymore.

As of this writing he's doing quite well, though he does suffer from a touch of claustrophobia, and will spit tepid drinks right across the bar.
