Kim had problems clearing his ears during the parachute descent, receiving some English-language advice from veteran Ryzhikov. While resting at the landing site, Ryzhikov commented that the other rookie, Zubritsky, had “reached for the bag.” Shortly afterwards, Zubritsky was carried directly from the capsule to the med tent, face hidden from view. Kim emerged last, and looked fine. He said Ryzhikov had suggested chewing gum, but he (Kim) was now having difficulty removing it from his ears.

Okay sorry. Last sentence is an old Aggie joke.
