I'm down to believe that the opening of the capsule was played up for the camera. Not much different than the picture of the flag raising on Iwo Jima.

Wouldn't the hatch door also open to the outside not swing in. I dont think I have ever seen a hatch door of an aircraft swing in because of the pressure🤷🏻‍♂️

Airplane doors swing inward to ensure a tight seal against the fuselage, leveraging the aircraft's internal pressurization. When the cabin is pressurized, the higher internal pressure pushes the door outward against its frame, creating a stronger seal that prevents leaks and maintains structural integrity. Outward-swinging doors would work against this pressure, risking failure or requiring heavier, more complex mechanisms. Inward-swinging doors are also easier to secure and align with the aircraft's curved shape, optimizing space and safety.

It is called a plug type door, many large pressurized aircraft have doors that open inward and then swing outward. Notable exceptions are the exit row doors on newer Boeing 737s.

A plug door would be cheaper and lighter to make.
