The DOOR is OPEN, rolled open to right side...
Now continuing the checklist...
Sliding seat forward again to put feet into door, releasing seat belt...
Felix complies. We can see his feet outside now, from the cams outside on the ledge...

I used to use helium to find under ground leaks in pipes etc.
We would fill the system with helium and use a detector on the surface and could find leaks through anything, concrete in particular.
So, the half life of the constituents is now my interest.
Thanks for the wiki
