Oh, well that's very serious because how will he know his altitude and when to release the chute?

How will they know? Seems like the all of the gauges are fixed to the pod. Either way, I pray everything works out as planned.

I'm sure they have calculated the rate of descent and could remotely trigger the parachute if he were to have a problem. Just a guess on my part though.

The first part of what you said seems plausible. As silly as this might sound--I wonder if he could aim his breath away from the visor. As simple as that sounds, that might actually work.

I'm only seeing something like 90k feet not 120+
