POLARIS MISSION PILOT: ASTRONAUTS RELIED ON AUTOMATION TO AVOID DANGER DURING HATCH OPENING
Mission Pilot of Polaris Dawn, Kidd Potent:
"The hatch—so our protocol was: Jared is going, once we get down to vacuum and everything’s good, he’s going to unlock it, break the seal, get out of the way, and it’s going to be automated.
They were concerned about him exerting too much force and generating heat, and that was a big concern.
Well, as soon as he unlocked and broke the seal, it would."
