| − | The original description for Gus read "[w]e hope nothing catches fire while he's here." This was thought to be a rather dark reference to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gus_Grissom Gus Grissom], one of the astronauts killed in the Apollo 1 fire. Squad had forgotten who had written it or why, but for [[1.2]], the description was changed to "and he's the reason why all our pods have windows," to refer to Grissom's insistence (and the insistence of the other Mercury 7 astronauts) that the Mercury capsule ("''That'' is a spacecraft, sir. We do not refer to it as a 'capsule'. ''Spacecraft''.") have a window (and full pilot control in general). A dramatized depiction of the "discussion" may be see in [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hAyJiNobfY8 this clip] from ''[[wikipedia:The Right Stuff (film)|The Right Stuff]]''.
