“Hey, if you guys don’t give me a chance to repair my instrument, I’m not going back,” Wang said. ...
“Early on when we were flying payload specialists, we had one payload specialist that became obsessed with the hatch,” he said. “‘You mean all I got to do is turn that handle and the hatch opens and all the air goes out?’ It was kind of scary. Why did he keep asking about that?” ... As a result of Wang’s mental state, his questions about the hatch, and the general unease that some Shuttle commanders had toward payload specialists not being full members of a crew, it’s reasonable to conclude that Overmyer was concerned about Wang opening the hatch. This was relatively easy to do. After learning a hard lesson regarding cabin pressure and complicated locking mechanisms in the Apollo 1 fire, NASA had designed the Shuttle hatch to open outward. It was a relatively simple procedure, requiring little physical force, as the hatch opened into the vacuum of outer space. Overmyer was clearly concerned. So he put duct tape on the hatch as a stop-gap. The next day, Wang did receive permission to work on the experiment, and he eventually got it working.

You don't need to open the hatch in space except for certain extreme situations (aliens). Lock dat shit (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5828565&forum_id=2Reputation#49632524) |
