I have serious concerns about the risks associated with the environment we're in, specifically decompression.
I'm not from a world that travels to space, but I've been given to understand that if we breach the wrong wall here, everything inside this station will be sucked rapidly outwards. The fact that doors lock and seal the way that they do is probably a safety mechanism designed to engage if there is some kind of rupture.
Take the observation deck- if something comes through that window, the doors into that room should lock and protect everyone on the other side of them. However, someone went through one of the wall panels there in an effort to rescue the screaming voices from when we arrived. That would let the vacuum penetrate deeper, and claim more lives.
We should explore. We should find our way through doors. But we should be equally careful to repair the tears we make.
Please let someone with a better understanding of the realities of life in space speak to this issue?
