In fact, its supposed to be as quick as possible, after the apollo 1 tragedy. A "pod" is not a thing outside of KSP. It's called a capsule or a spacecraft. And not all scapecraft are EVA capable. Soyuz isn't (any more), neither are Dragon (that we know of) or CST-100. Nor were Vostok or Mercury. For Shenzhou and (old) Soyuz, the EVA would be conducted from the orbital module, the descent module cannot be depressurized. As for Dragon 1, I'm pretty sure there is a safety handle to open it from the inside so that ground workers don't get trapped inside during integration/loading.

harrisjosh2711 Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 I just applied for a job with SpaceX as an associate buyer. I'm still a year from graduation but I figured why not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would assume they’ll cut it, but we’ll at least get glorious full-screen coverage of the booster landing. Then again, maybe the fairing will pop open revealing a Dragon 2 and they’ll be all like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
