History Main / ThrownOutTheairLock

* In the penultimate episode of ''Series/Avenue5'', dozens of the UpperClassTwit passengers aboard the titular StarshipLuxurious become convinced that they are [[TrumanShowPlot on a reality show]] or in a LotusEaterMachine, and after some very poor attempts by Ryan and Matt to talk them down, an idiot walks into the airlock and immediately dies when it opens up to outer space, [[SpaceIsCold freezing to death]] with [[EyeScream his eyeballs popping]]. One woman who "works in visual effects" declares it a special effect, and helps more people rush the airlock. A total of seven people die before the crowd finally get the hint when [[spoiler:Sarah's]] hand brushes the wall and snaps off on the way out.
-->"Oh, I'm scared, I'm so scared! Hahahahaha, joke's on you, Herman, you big [[CurseCutShort assh-]]"

** The introductory cutscene of Blue Team’s first mission in ''VideoGame/Halo5Guardians'' sees the Spartans enter a space station by weakening a viewport with their weapons before slamming through it. RealityEnsues for the Covenant who have taken the station, as they begin to slide toward the viewport when they begin to react and are spaced, while the Spartan’s magnetic boots keep them firmly locked to the deck until the breach is sealed. Ironically, a shot of the Elites inside the station before Blue Team enters has their leader order some unruly grunts thrown out the airlock.

* ''VideoGame/{{Portal 2}}'': [[spoiler:At the end, [[TheHero Chell]] wins the fight with Wheatley by opening one portal directly under him and the other one ''[[CrazyAwesome on the surface of the Moon]]'', blowing out everything that isn't nailed down, including the Portal Gun, Wheatley, and herself. After they end up hanging on the Wheatley's cable, [=GLaDOS=] reaches her mechanical claw in, knocks Wheatley into space, and, surprisingly, pulls Chell back, then seals the portal.]] Interestingly, it also completely justifies the "long wind" issue, as it had ''the entire Earth atmosphere'' to equalize.

** ''ComicBook/StarWarsDarthVader''. Doctor Aphra knows that Vader would kill her [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness once she is no longer needed]] and thus requests him to not throw her into outer space, saying it terrifies her more than death by lightsaber. Vader being Vader of course decides to mercilessly throw her out of the airlock, which she anticipated and thus has Black Krrasantan and the killer droids stationed outside to pick her up once the Executor is out of sight.

* In episode 4 of ''VideoGame/StrongBadsCoolGameForAttractivePeople'', "Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective", [[spoiler:[[TheManBehindTheMan Craig]] (played by The Cheat)]] is disposed of in this way. Due to the cheap production of the film and the fact that this scene is shot in Strong Bad's basement, the villain is simply kicked into a dryer which is covered in aluminum foil to look like an airlock.

* ''WesternAnimation/RobotChicken'': During a ''Franchise/StarWars'' parody, Darth Vader gets rid of Jar Jar Binks, who is annoying him, by throwing him into an escape pod chamber that lacks an escape pod, causing Jar Jar to freeze to death in space. Unfortunately for Vader, Jar Jar comes back as a Force Ghost, and now Vader can't shut him up.

* ''Series/LostInSpace2018'':
** Viewers' introduction to "Dr. Smith" is her accidentally murdering a ''Resolute'' crewman by trapping him in an airlock and refusing to cancel the automatic cycle after he recognizes that she is not, in fact, his lover. (She is actually her lover's evil sister.) The second season reveals that he was the father of a young girl named Samantha.
** In the finale, [[spoiler:this happens to the Robot, ''twice''. First time, Maureen manages to get it out of the ship, just in time for a second ship and a second Robot to arrive, pry open the closing doors, and continue terrorizing the Robinsons. Then, the first Robot recalls its relationship to Will, and saves them by tackling the second Robot well clear of the Jupiter 2.]]

* Classic ''TabletopGame/{{Traveller}}'' Adventure 1 "The Kinunir". In the scenario "The Lost Ship", the title starship's {{AI}} became paranoid and evacuated the ship to vacuum, killing the crew and blowing their bodies into space. The {{PC}}'s can find several bodies near a small asteroid.
* In ''TabletopGame/FadingSuns'' this is what happens to you when you piss off the Guilders.
* The Imperial Navy of ''[[TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}} Warhammer 40K]]'' prescribes this as a punishment for many, many offenses.
** Actually averted in one of the Ciaphas Cain books, however, at least in terms of the Hollywood Science aspects. Cain is exposed to hard vacuum, but there's no rushing gale, he's not ejected, and he has a few seconds to reach a saviour pod.

* ''TabletopGame/{{Battletech}}'': [=ilKhan=] Leo Showers of the Clans died when the bridge of the [=WarShip=] he was on was rammed and lost pressure, throwing him into space. Several other people were on the bridge with him and successfully evacuated as the pressure fell (including his eventual successor Ulric Kerensky); Showers' death is noted to be simple bad luck of standing too close to the windows at the time of impact.

* Cortana in ''Machinima/ArbyNTheChief'' was [[spoiler:thrown into the centre of an alien sun after a gay alien that looks suspiciously like the creator of the show's chin raped and ate her friends Travis and Todd]].
* Literature/TheJournalEntries subvert this with a Pendorian sculptor using her final life support layer to allow her to walk around on an airless moon of a gas giant completely naked.
* Happens frequently in ''WebAnimation/SpaceTree''. Usually to [[ButtMonkey Allon]].

* PlayedForLaughs in [[Creator/HarryPartridge Starbarians]] Episode 3, where Killgar tricks the unnamed female servant on his ship, the DD Rex, into doing this to herself after being asked for a raise. She survives, but [[Main/TakeThisJobAndShoveIt quits]] after being fed up with how poorly the Starbarians treat people.
* PlayedForLaughs multiple times in ''WebAnimation/DeepSpace69'' as Jay's preferred way of getting rid of his ex-girlfriends.

* At the end of the ''WesternAnimation/SupermanTheAnimatedSeries'' two part episode "The Main Man," this is how Superman and Lobo manage to escape the Preserver's ship.

* As part of a plan to fight aliens with 'bring one back to life' über-technology, ComicBook/{{Cyclops}} of the ComicBook/XMen throws himself out an airlock into space and dies. Intentionally. Knowing he lacks (and will lack) access to his powers. That's how much of a badass he is.

* Parodied in the first ''Magazine/{{MAD}}'' ''Franchise/StarTrek'' parody "Star Blecch" In 1967. Kirk tries to solve the problems of the alien of the week by having him "accidently" slip on a banana peel out a porthole.
* ''ComicBook/TheBroodSaga'': Kitty Pryde gets cornered by a Brood while Nightcrawler is left floating out the vacuum of space. Though she's never killed before she decides to save herself and her friend, going intangible and blowing the lock to send the Brood to its doom.
* In ''Franchise/{{Superman}}'' storyline ''ComicBook/TheKillersOfKrypton'', [[BigBad Empress Gandelo]] punishes Harry Hokum's failure by getting him thrown out of her spaceship.

* Used at the end of a segment in ''WesternAnimation/HeavyMetal'', when Captain Sternn pulls a lever and sends Hanover Fiste out of a space station airlock. Fiste subsequently [[SpaceDoesNotWorkThatWay catches fire in the vacuum of space]]. Or he might have [[ReentryScare burned up on reentry]], if you're feeling charitable. (WordOfGod is that it was supposed to be on atmospheric entry, but they ran out of money and couldn't make the planned bridge to the next segment. It was meant to show the way the Lohknar Fiste was holding affected the development of the planet that the next segment occurred on.)
* ''WesternAnimation/BatmanReturnOfTheCapedCrusaders'': The Joker, Penguin, and Riddler attempt to dispose of Catwoman by jettisoning her through the airlock on the space station.
* In ''WesternAnimation/JonnyQuestVersusTheCyberInsects'', Jonny and Race kill most of the bug army by opening the door of the asteroid hangar, sucking them all into space.

* ''Film/{{Alien}}'' and ''Film/{{Aliens}}'' end with the xenomorph getting blown out a ship's airlock, while ''Film/{{Alien Resurrection}}'' goes the ExplosiveDecompression route.
* In ''Film/AlienResurrection'', the monster is not simply shoved bodily out of an airlock, but blown into the vacuum of space through a small broken port window. It was not pretty.
* In ''Film/EventHorizon'', Justin almost kills himself messily this way when the ship possesses him.
* Film/JamesBond does this to Hugo Drax after shooting him with a poison dart in ''Film/{{Moonraker}}''. It's the current page image.

* The Creator/SeanConnery movie ''Film/{{Outland}}'' features a doped-up asteroid miner doing this to himself in the opening minutes.
* A Martian tries to do this to Santa and the kids in ''Film/SantaClausConquersTheMartians''; it doesn't work. Note that Santa escapes from the airlock ''[[ItsWhatIDo through the ventilation duct]].''
* There are ''three'' notable airlock scenes in ''Film/{{Sunshine}}''.
** In the first, Icarus Two has decoupled from Icarus One, wrenching the airlock open. There's only one spacesuit, and with no means of repressurizing the damaged airlock, they can't just send over more suits. [[spoiler:Capa]] (the person most critical to the mission) is placed inside the spacesuit while the others [[spoiler:wrap themselves in thermal insulation]]. With two men holding onto Capa's spacesuit, the door is opened ([[spoiler:manually by a crew member who has to stay behind]]) and the outrush of air blasts them in the direction of Icarus Two's airlock, which is twenty metres away. One crew member [[spoiler:strikes part of the spaceship and is knocked free of their grasp;]] the others survive.
** In the second incident, Capa is locked in Icarus Two's airlock by [[spoiler:mad Captain Pinbacker]]. Capa burns a hole in the inside door with an oxy torch (kept in the airlock as part of the EVA repair kit), then straps himself to the wall and fires the explosive bolts in the outside door. The force of the air inside the spaceship trying to escape through the small hole is enough to wrench the inside door off its hinges.
** Plus there's a ''third'' airlock incident not long after this. [[spoiler:Capa]] has just separated the payload from Icarus II and is making his way to the airlock when he trips in his heavy spacesuit. The boosters will fire in four minutes; he is able to get to his feet again, but the payload has already separated. He must leap from one airlock to the other and climb inside before the boosters fire.

* In ''Film/{{Apollo 13}}'', during the scene where Jack is reactivating the Command Module, we briefly glimpse a piece of paper over a panel in the cockpit, simply marked "NO!". When Lovell later asks him about this, Jack admits that he'd been getting "punchy" and put that on to keep himself from accidentally jettisoning the LEM (Lunar Excursion Module) while the other two were still in it.
-->'''Jim:''' ''[deadpan]'' Good thinking.
** Incidentally, this was not something the film writers made up; it actually happened during the real life Apollo 13 mission (the note thing, not the jettisoning).
* In ''Film/TwoThousandOneASpaceOdyssey'', HAL 9000 kills Frank Poole by maneuvering his space pod and using the gripper arms while he is on EVA to replace the AE-35 unit. David Bowman rushes out in another pod to rescue his fellow astronaut, but in his haste neglects to take a helmet for his pressure suit. When HAL refuses to open the pod bay doors so Bowman can reenter ''Discovery'', since Bowman lacks a helmet, he has to throw ''himself'' out of the airlock in order to regain entry into the spaceship. He is able to open the outer door of the airlock with the gripper arms, but the pod hatch does not mate with the door completely. Bowman blows the explosive bolts on the hatch, tucks down, and is blown into the airlock. In seconds, he is able to shut the outer door manually and repressurize the airlock. Although this scene is perfectly plausible, despite ExplosiveDecompression, Bowman inhales and holds his breath right before the hatch blows, which is the wrong thing to do. This may have been a mistake by actor Keir Dullea, however.
** Creator/ArthurCClarke reportedly said that if he had been on the set that day, he would have corrected this.
* Though not technically through an airlock, a [[RedShirt nameless female officer]] gets spaced through a hull breach in ''Film/StarTrek2009''.
* This also happens to James T. Kirk at the beginning of ''Film/StarTrekGenerations''. Of course, [[HesJustHiding he was just hiding in the Nexus]], and they brought him back to [[DroppedABridgeOnHim drop a bridge on him]].
* In ''Film/StarTrekIntoDarkness'', this happens again to several crewmembers, who are blown out of a hull breech... ''[[UpToEleven at warp.]]'' Not a nice way to go.
** Scotty does this to a GiantMook holding him at phaser point, blowing the hatch just as Harrison and Kirk come flying ''into'' the airlock wearing spacesuit jetpacks, narrowly missing him.
* ''Film/StarTrekBeyond'' has several crew members sucked out of hull breaches made by Krall's swarm ships. [=McCoy=] and Spock also use this trick to remove the passengers of a swarm ship they commandeer. Twice. Then in the climax, Kirk kills Krall this way.
* In ''Film/StarTrekNemesis'', TheBridge takes a hit during the battle; one poor RedShirt gets spaced before a forcefield seals the breach. Later on, Data spaces himself so he can traverse the distance between the ''Enterprise'' and the ''Scimitar''; as an android, he can survive a vacuum for extended periods.
* How the titular antagonist of ''Film/Leprechaun4InSpace'' gets defeated.
* In ''Film/MenInBlack3'', Boris shoots the ceiling of the Moon prison Lunar Max to let his guards be blown out of the hole... along with [[KickTheDog the would-be girlfriend]] [[UngratefulBastard that freed him]].
* In the 1972 low-budget sci-fi film ''Film/DoomsdayMachine'', two crew members are killed this way by unlocking the airlock by accident (thanks to an [[NoOshaCompliance easily pressed button]]) during an attempted rape. They're not actually blown out into space, but remain in the airlock and die of suffocation, as well as bleeding from every orifice. Not a pretty way to go.
* In ''Film/{{Interstellar}}'', [[RobotBuddy TARS]] jokes about [[Film/TwoThousandOneASpaceOdyssey doing this]] [[AIIsACrapshoot to the crew]]. [[spoiler:This winds up being Mann's ultimate fate -- he tries to open an airlock door while the outer door hasn't been properly sealed. The resulting ExplosiveDecompression sends him flying out the airlock, though he's likely already dead from the impact of the hatch hitting him.]]
* ''Film/TheLastDaysOnMars'' (2013). The final ZombieInfectee is killed this way, when the last two survivors make it to orbit in the DropShip. A flashback shows that the hero nearly spaced himself during an attack of claustrophobia, only to be saved by the intervention of another crewmember.
* ''Film/EarthVsTheFlyingSaucers'', albeit in the Earth's atmosphere rather than outer space. The aliens have been keeping two prisoners on board their FlyingSaucer, but dump them from high altitude in retaliation after one of their own has been killed.
* ''Film/Passengers2016'': Jim nearly does this to himself after he becomes depressed from being alone. Apparently, there's nothing to stop someone going into the airlock without putting on a space suit and opening it.
* ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxyVol2''. After the crew mutiny against Yondu, they gleefully throw his NumberOne into the airlock and jeer at him as he floats off into space. A RevealShot then shows a number of other Yondu loyalists drifting in space with him.
* ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar:'' [[spoiler:Ebony Maw]] dies when Iron Man, prompted by Spider-Man and his knowledge of the ''Film/{{Alien}}'' examples above, smashes a hole through the hull of Maw’s ship so that he’s sucked out into space. Doctor Strange nearly suffers the same fate, but Spider-Man manages to catch him and drag him back inside while Iron Man seals the hull breach.
* ''Film/JupiterAscending'': In a moment of BondVillainStupidity, Titus not only attempts to dispose of Caine in this matter once [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness he's outlived his usefulness]] rather than order his drones to shoot, but [[JustBetweenYouAndMe reveals his plot]] to Caine before doing so. Caine survives because Titus forgets that ''there are spare spacesuits in the airlock''.

** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E10Midnight "Midnight"]]: After the Hostess realizes that Sky has been possessed by the unseen entity, she grabs her, opens the rear door (with airlock) and [[HeroicSacrifice lets the truck's safety system throw them both into the vacuum]]. This saves the Doctor's life, as some of the other passengers, believing him to be possessed, were trying to throw him out of the front door, which formerly led to the cockpit, and which doesn't have an airlock. As a bit of a kicker at the end, none of the passengers, not even the Doctor, ever bothered to learn the hostess' name.

* The backstory for Music/TheMechanisms says that the band's creators and the original captain of the Aurora was Music/DrCarmilla, "who, unfortunately, has since fallen out an airlock." Given the Mechanisms' general antipathy towards her, and how AxCrazy they all get when they get bored, the insistence that Dr. Carmilla ''fell'' is generally seen as SuspiciouslySpecificDenial. At the very least, none of them seem particularly broken up over it.

* In ''ComicBook/StarWarsMarvel1977'', one story has Darth Vader giving an admiral one of his famous [[YouHaveFailedMe performance reviews]] aboard the "Tarkin" (Death Star superlaser without the Death Star). He tells the admiral to go for a walk in the "fresh air." Later, a tech notices an airlock cycling all by itself. Vader: "How curious. A faulty mechanism, no doubt."
* ''ComicBook/StarWarsDarthVader''. Doctor Aphra knows that Vader would kill her [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness once she is no longer needed]] and thus requests him to not throw her into outer space, saying it terrifies her more than death by lightsaber. Vader being Vader of course decides to mercilessly throw her out of the airlock, which she anticipated and thus has Black Krrasantan and the killer droids stationed outside to pick her up once the Executor is out of sight.
* In the ''[[Franchise/{{Tintin}} Tintin]]'' story "[[Recap/TintinExplorersOnTheMoon Explorers on the Moon]]", Wolff commits suicide by airlock so the others have enough oxygen to make it back to Earth. It is also strongly implied that the corpse of villainous henchman Jorgen is left in space after he is shot dead in a struggle with Wolff.

** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E10Midnight "Midnight"]]: After the Hostess realizes that Sky has been possessed by the unseen entity, she grabs her, opens the rear door (with airlock) and [[HeroicSacrifice lets the truck's safety system throw them both into the vacuum]]. This saves the Doctor's life, as some of the other passengers, believing him to be possessed, were trying to throw him out of the front door, which formerly led to the cockpit, and which doesn't have an airlock.

* ''Series/TheMandalorian''. In "The Heiress", several Mandalorians are doing a mid-air seizure of an Imperial transport, only to be sealed behind blast doors in the cargo hold.
-->'''Officer:''' I think we have them trapped, sir.\\

Appropriate, given that SpaceIsAnOcean, and parallels can be drawn with keelhauling or [[WalkThePlank walking the plank]]. Note that the loss of oxygen from the ship's system will never be a problem no matter how much you do it. May result in DramaticSpaceDrifting.

* In the ComicBook/MarvelStarWars series, one story has Darth Vader giving an admiral one of his famous [[YouHaveFailedMe performance reviews]] aboard the "Tarkin" (Death Star superlaser without the Death Star). He tells the admiral to go for a walk in the "fresh air." Later, a tech notices an airlock cycling all by itself. Vader: "How curious. A faulty mechanism, no doubt."

** The ActionPrologue of [[Recap/DoctorWho2011CSTheDoctorTheWidowAndTheWardrobe "The Doctor, the Widow and the Wardrobe"]] takes this UpToEleven, with the airlock disintegrating around the Doctor, who them has to catch and put on a spacesuit [[BatmanCanBreatheInSpace while both are falling towards the planet's surface]]. He succeeds (of course) but puts his helmet on backwards in the rush.

* Mystek of the ''ComicBook/JusticeLeagueTaskForce'' was ThrownOutTheAirlock due to a tag-team combo of ExecutiveMeddling and the resulting CreatorBreakdown. As writer Christopher Priest explains [[http://www.christopherpriest.com/hi.htm at his website]]:

** A few of the "Good Guys" feel that spacing ''pirates'' is appropriate, as something of a retribution; the rest, however, feel these people are treading severely into KnightTemplar territory. One [[TheGoodCaptain captain]] in the series promises to kick a bunch of pirates out an airlock, and is met with ''horrified'' reactions until he clarifies that of course he'll shoot them first. The airlock is just a fittingly callous way of disposing of their worthless bodies; spacing is too cruel to inflict on ''anyone.''

* In the multiplayer web-based video game ''VideoGame/AmongUs'' this is the fate of "imposters". Or of totally innocent players that enough other players ''think'' are imposters.

* ''Franchise/StarTrek'' examples:
** ''[[Series/StarTrekEnterprise Enterprise]]'':

** ''[[Series/StarTrekVoyager Voyager]]'':
*** The above scene from ''Enterprise'' hits many of the same notes as one in "Equinox, Part II", with Captain Janeway as the increasingly obsessive interrogator, and a room open to alien attacks as the airlock. The big difference is that Janeway ''doesn't'' back down--Chakotay intervenes to save the prisoner. This scene earned Janeway a "Madame Airlock" reputation well before Roslin.
*** Early, on, the Kazon, after stealing a working transporter from ''Voyager'', [[TeleFrag use it to space two rival Kazon leaders]]. The ''Voyager'' crew initially assume they just can't use it correctly until Neelix identifies the pair.
*** One of the many TheyKilledKennyAgain incidents to befall Harry Kim involves him getting blown out into space while trying to fix a hull breach. He gets replaced by an alternate universe self and keeps on trucking.
*** In "Rise" the VillainOfTheWeek gets thrown out of a SpaceElevator which is so high up in the ionosphere it counts as this trope.
*** In the "Scorpion" two-parter, Chakotay tries to vent the Borg into space after Seven of Nine hijacks control of the deflector array to create a portal into fluidic space. It works on all but Seven, who manages to brace herself until the pressure equalizes. Thanks to her implants, she can carry on in a vacuum.
** ''[[Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine Deep Space Nine]]'':
*** In "Covenant", Gul Dukat spaces a follower who's [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness become inconvenient]], though he only opens the airlock a crack so she'll suffocate. Kira finds her JustInTime to save her.
*** Kira threatens to space Quark "if I ever get my hands on that little troll!" in one second season episode.
*** In "The Nagus", Quark is nearly thrown out an airlock by [[CharacterizationMarchesOn his brother Rom]].
*** In "Defiant", Will Riker [[spoiler:(actually Thomas Riker)]] tells Sisko that Dr. Crusher practically pushed him out an airlock in order to get him to go on shore leave.
*** In "Afterimage," Garak nearly spaces himself during an acute attack of {{claustrophobia}}.
** ''[[Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration The Next Generation]]'':
*** In the episode [[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS2E11Contagion "Contagion"]], it is reported that eighteen people were killed when the ''Yamato's'' computer shut down the force field in an open shuttle bay. It turns out they were just dying early to avoid the rush.
*** In [[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS1E2TheNakedNow "The Naked Now"]], the crew of the ''Tsiolkovsky'' do this to themselves after a virus affects their reasoning and they blow an emergency hatch. It's a SoundOnlyDeath in that case, heard by the horrified bridge crew of the ''Enterprise'' over the comm system.
*** In Lore's first appearance in [[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS1E12Datalore "Datalore"]], he is defeated when Data throws him onto a cargo transporter and Wesley beams him into space. Being an android, Lore survives the experience.
** ''[[Series/StarTrekDiscovery Discovery]]'':

* Played straight in George R. R. Martin's sci-fi horror story ''Nightflyer''. Two passengers on the eponymous spaceship try to find out more about their mysterious and unseen captain by hacking into the ship's computer, only to have an OhCrap moment when they realise the corridor has just been sealed and the cargo-loading hatch above their heads is opening. As they're traveling at superlight speed, the resulting explosion rips them apart and causes major damage to the ship. The survivors correctly assume that this was no accident.

* ''Literature/RCN'', in the fourth book a paranoid Captain uses this as a punishment for three men he accuses of mutiny, it's ambiguous how accurate a claim this was. As these three men included the ship's bosun and a Midshipman who was the son of a senator this causes riots among the common people and is massively unpopular among the enlisted members of the RCN setting off the plot.

** In the ''Literature/BlackFleetCrisis'' trilogy, [[spoiler:the main villain is ejected into hyperspace after the slaves on his flagship mutiny. They send him in an escape pod, but without a method of reversion to realspace, the end result is the same]]. This was done on the premise that regular "spacing", or any other form of execution that the killer could think of for that matter, would be ''too quick''. The executioner [[spoiler:had been enslaved for decades by the villain in question and seen most of his comrades brutally murdered]], so it's no surprise that he wanted to get the most out of his revenge.

* In Creator/BenBova's ''Venus'', this is turned UpToEleven by [[spoiler:Captain Fuchs]], who [[spoiler:places rebelling crew members onboard a faulty escape pod and ejects it, leading to an extremely painful and messy ExplosiveDecompression]].
