So you may need to do it manually.
I was like, man, we spent so much time building on this thing for that to happen.
Well, when I was there and I got the go to open the hatch, so I opened the hatch and they're like, okay, unseat it.
Let's get the last of the residual pressure out.
I do it.
And they're like, okay, let go.
And I do, and it goes right back to flush with it.
And I'm just looking at it.
And then it was like a two or three second delay.
And they were like, you're go for manual hatch opening.
Which was cool, because you got to actually partake and do the human thing and open the hatch.
And next thing you know, you're just staring out into the, you know, just the black void.
At first, until I climbed out.
And then I was...
I was facing Earth.
But I only had a couple minutes before we were in the eclipse.
And most of the motion tests we were doing in the suit was facing away from Earth.
So you're just looking out into just this dark, black sky.
