You know, “hatch”. But it’s funnier saying door. Could a ship just dock with it, equalise pressure, and open the hatch? Or is there some sort of security? I tend to think ‘no’ because of a macabre situation where the crew are dead and the station is being recovered. But it’s amusing to think in space they don’t need to keep the doors locked.

    Interesting. But surely they must have had a plan to recover the station if crew were all incapacitated? With it now being near end of life it doesn’t matter as much, but early on when billions had been invested? They surely wouldn’t have canned the station in event of a catastrophic air leak?
