Upside-down hatch on Rocket

Artistic licence perhaps?

;-)

The hatch IS upside down together with the rocket; it's an oval doorway and you can't see the top because it's behind the pile of earth. So it is as it should be.

And ground level in this case means that the door is high-up on cockpit level (pretty much as was the case with the Apollo flights), so before the blast-off the astronauts had to climb a ladder.



"When there is no more room in the Oven,
the Bread will walk the Earth."

I guess you've never watched rockets launch before, as the astronauts always enter a hatch at the top of the rocket after climbing or riding an elevator to the top of the accompanying launch tower. The hatch is oval, not like a normal doorway. The bottom and top are rounded. This is not a mistake in any sense of the word.

If one were to complain, it would be how they enter the ship when viewed from the inside. It seems everything is level or close to it, and right side up.
