Awesome! Maybe next time the helmet cams can be on the outside of the helmet and we missed all the stuff that got sucked out when that hatch opened dagnabbit.

Why aren't you "phase space shifting" or incorporating "transfer plate" maneuvers. Rotations through atmosphere, inner and outer pressurization buildups that normalize through layers. Essentially, it's very similar to some orbital manuevers in regards to rotation between pressure density differentials expressed as layers..We should be way beyond generating any sort of combustion or damage to our life sustaining systems for simple pleasure or profit..

Nice :)

So glad someone with the money to do it is actually helping to push the advancement of space exploration.

I find this disgusting.
Self absorbed billionaires gratifying themselves.
Do something positive for humanity instead of a few minutes of self gratification.

Looks like a poor hatch design that made exit and re-entry difficult. Why was it designed to swing inside? Doors open outward; not inward.

They cut away from the capsule when they opened in case they all died lmao
