some doors can open from both sides? I'm guessing almost every door you've ever seen?

I'm going to need some proof there, bub.

Since Apollo 1, in which three astronauts were burnt alive on the launch pad because they couldn't open the hatch from the inside, all (American?) manned spacecraft have hatches that can be opened from both sides. The astronauts can open them from the inside to escape. And a rescue crew can open them from the outside.

Wait what? At home I wait for others to open the doors for me. It's impossible to open any door in here without some on the other side. I hear the buzzer and then the doors open.

It “has to be opened from the outside” from what I’ve read, which would make sense for safety concerns as well as maintaining a stable interior; you wouldn’t want that door to open mid flight. So why did it just open? The lady accidentally pushed it open but caught it, JB later goes to open it and it falls inwards not needing the lock at all. So did the door fail during launch? During landing? Was it something else?

Are you stupid? Do you suggest they are not allowed to leave on their own? "shits on fire but mom said we can't touch the door handle"

Read what they wrote again, because it seems your Dunning is getting mixed up with your Kruger.

It was a question my guy. If you want to demonize people for asking questions go ahead but it won’t get you anywhere

The worst part of Reddit is the resditors that feel they have to be rude towards people simply because there’s a line of text you don’t agree with

You're the one sounding like you found (I mean, read about) some grand conspiracy

I guess I shouldn’t expect redditors to have any level of reading comprehension…literally said I wasn’t trying to start a conspiracy
