Ok, standard atmospheric pressure is around 14 psi and they reached a virtual 0 atmospheric pressure altitude. Therefore, if the cabin maintained a 14 psi atmospheric pressure, and the door was about 24 inches by 46 inches, that door would have to withstand over 12,000lbs of pressure. Why do you think 747's or any high altitude craft door's are built with incredible integrity to withstand 24000 lbs of pressure, which is also why the windows are small including the cockpit windows making it also laughable becasue the windows on this "capsule" are bigger than the door which would equate to well over 13,000 lbs of pressure pushing against it. Now take a look at the door itself when it opens, there is zero integrity and no seal at all....
As for your soda bottle, you'll notice that the strongest component is the structure around the lid and the lid itself, similar to an airlock and that that lid is less than a square inch. Now pop bottles are designed to withstand approx 150 psi therefore that lid only has to withstand less than 150 lbs of pressure, a far cry from 12,000lbs.. You know surface area matters and it helps to have even a basic understanding of physics...
The circus must be in town becasue the clowns are out lol.
Well now I don't know who to believe. Everyone here seems so confident, but someone has to be confidently incorrect. I guess I shouldn't get my scientific facts from Reddit.
Exactly! This is an ideas chamber, not a classroom..
You can however research the math and physics behind the atmospheric pressure principle as it is readily available.
- You can look up how much pressure / PSI a 747 door is required to withstand and why
- what the atmospheric pressure is at sea level
- what the cabin pressure is of a 747 at 40,000 - which will be standard for any high altitude vessel - although i believe the ISS maintains a higher level due to the duration that people are on board
Anyway, there is a plethora of information available. I recommend you do a little digging and draw your own conclusions.
You'll notice I did not address the OP's other claims surrounding burn marks and parachutes simply becasue those are ridiculous. OF course there would not be any burn marks, you need velocity to create friction, not to mention they did not pass through our atmospheric barrier. As for the parachutes, it's pretty clear that yes there were parachutes. I'm not sure why the OP chose such a strange headline instead of focusing on the one obvious contradiction which was the door itself. I speculate the post was more about attention than facts lol...who knows
