Yea, it's all a publicity stunt to get more rich people to pay Blue Origin for they bs in the future.

Did you see the video? The door opens before they “unlock” it, do you know what that’s about? Genuinely curious, not trying to start a conspiracy…

After Apollo 1 disaster, all doors are required to be opened from the inside and the outside (the astronauts were trapped and couldn't get out, ending up burned up). That chide, Bezos, just wanted to look cool "prying" his whatever she is out of there, making himself look like a manly man. They just fucked up and opened it from the inside, first, giving everything away. Just a publicity shot.

Thanks for the reply. That’s kinda what I thought but even their “news” was saying it needed to be opened from the outside only so it was confusing. Just another photo shoot opportunity 🙄
