He apparently had been worried about that, obviously, and had taken with him 18 different plans for it.
While I was reading that I saw this quote at the bottom of this article:

Quote:
“I have been places and done things you simply would not believe. I feel like saying: I have dangled from a cord a hundred miles up; I have seen the earth eclipsed by the moon, and enjoyed it. I have seen the sun’s true light, unfiltered by any planet’s atmosphere. I have seen the ultimate black of infinity in a stillness undisturbed by any living thing.
“I do have this secret,” he added, “this precious thing, that I will always carry with me.”

Makes me think he inspired the Blade Runner quote.
