You can't repair something.

You can't build something if you're just floating in space.

The goal is to figure out how to maintain points of contact and get things done where you overheat and you don't accomplish anything.

But yeah, we were pretty limited because we had no airlock and we needed to use consumables to keep us alive outside the vehicle and consumables to repress the spaceship.

And you had to maintain some fault tolerance for something to go wrong.

He actually died in a crash about four years ago, but Dale Snort Snodgrass.

Like, it's just like, you don't want to screw up.

You don't want to let everybody down who got to help you get to this moment.

But I do have a funny story about that hatch.

So when we started our journey training for Polaris Dawn, we would be suspended from these offload harnesses that would replicate microgravity, and we were doing hatch drills.

Because pretty much the most important thing was closing the hatch.
