That's really interesting. Thanks for posting that.
I had no idea the bolts could be removed from the inside. I just thought it was always blown after splashdown. Never really thought about all the preflight testing. Obviously, they wouldn't blow the hatch after each test. Maybe NASA even stopped using explosive bolts after the Liberty 7 incident, I don't know...
There's a poster who worked for NASA back in the moonshot days. I'm sure he could add some firsthand insight.
