* The quote at the top of this page comes from ''[[Star Wars]]'' during the assault on the Death Star (unfortunately for him, he gets blown up before he has time to eject). The starfighter is designed so that the cockpit and couch would separate from the fuselage and engines, thus leaving the pilot drifting in what was effectively a survival capsule. The suit is air tight and has a small force field that will keep you breathing for about three or four hours. Now being next to a giant moon-sized space station that explodes isn't exactly survivable so it was still a waste of time.

* In the [[Stargate Verse]], the F-302, being space-worthy fighters, can eject the whole two-place cockpit, as to make sure the pilots can survive in space.

* In ''[[Farscape]]'', Aeryn is ejected in one of these, with [[Meaningful Funeral|disastrously heart-breaking]] but, of course, [[Death Is Cheap|non-permanent results]].
Line 134:
