This is not the thinking even of a high school graduate. The capsule landed. No big deal. Someone, Bezos, it doesn't matter, unlatched the hatch. This was not on video. The women were supposed to wait for the photo op. Someone inside jumped the gun and opened the door. Bezos stops the miscue, closes the hatch, and they wait for the timed photo op to go through the motions of hatch opening for the sake of the photo op.
Pressurized doors open inwards all the time. That is how airliner doors work, because the interior pressure keeps the door shut. It is only after the door has moved inward that the hinge articulation allows it to be opened outward. (It is an extremely clever articulation, and I marvel at it every time I see it.)
No scorch marks from re-entry because there was no re-entry as from orbit. They went up and down at low velocity. Apparently no one understands that this was NOT an orbital flight and at the peak altitude, the velocity was ZERO.
All the people opining "this looked fake," have no idea what aerospace reality is.
