Wasn't there a sci-fi movie with a similar scene? (guy riding bomb, but in
space) I know I've seen it, but can't place it.

Remember though, they were flying low to stay under radar and evade the 
enemy while going for their secondary target because they couldn't reach the

first. They dropped from a pretty low target, and probably didn't care since

as far as they could tell the world wasn't going to be worth living in if 
they got back.
