Hahah, I absolutely love the mental image of the gigantic paper key that they're futzing with in this life-or-death situation, all torn because it's such a ridiculous way to open something...

And I'm somehow disappointed to find out that a Ford Mondeo is a real car, I thought this was another case of a dream inventing a word :)

I guess you were seeing that ending bit from outside the shuttle? I pictured it from inside at first and it was terrifying...!
