    And panicky people like you are why the commander lock now exists on what should otherwise be an always accessible safety mechanism. Astronauts could take their helmet off in space too, should we weld them on then because they only sometimes need them open?

      Perhaps not welded, but some sort of interlock to prevent opening under the wrong circumstances seems prudent to me.

      I’m still not entirety clear how a door which opens directly to the vacuum of space would be a safety mechanism. Do any such scenarios exist?
