All pods have to be openable from the inside.  That's how EVAs work.  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.

I just applied for a job with SpaceX as an associate buyer. I'm still a year from graduation but I figured why not.

When you get hired, remember to grab the Bulgariasat first stage landing video and post it here.

SpaceX confirming the 15th, not the 16th that the other source said.

Which is good news if you've taken that day off. :)

Got 24ish hours left until Zuma launches. Does anyone know if it will be a full length webcast or will they cut it at fairing sep like a DoD launch?

I would assume they’ll cut it, but we’ll at least get glorious full-screen coverage of the booster landing. :cool:

Then again, maybe the fairing will pop open revealing a Dragon 2 and they’ll be all like f7P0I.gif
