...last and out of doors, he is a dear, incompetent bumbler, forever picking a spot in a high wind for a game of cards (the solution: a magnetized playing board and card deck for $10). He is equally inept at the barbecue, getting mixed up about the orders for broiled steaks-for which he needs a $4 branding iron to remind him which should be rare, medium and well done.

He had lost 7 Ibs. since his Canaveral liftoff, and in his dehydrated state, he gulped down four glasses of pineapple juice and six glasses of milk...
...completed his 22-or bit space mission today, despite an electrical failure in his spaceship Faith 7 during the final orbits. Cooper landed in the Pacific at 6:24 1/2 p.m. (EST), only a minute and a half off schedule. By 7:11 he had stopped aboard the flight deck of this rescue ship-carrier...
