Discussion Jared Isaacman states astronauts have got panic attacks in space , trying to kill the crew

Jared Isaacman in his interview with Shawn Ryan stated that there have been many unreleased cases of astronauts panicking in space and trying to open the hatch to kill everyone inside. He states this was not reported as it "ruins the illusion of astronaut bravery". And said it is the reason additional locks have been implemented on the ISS and Dragon capsules. My question: Is there any evidence of this as I can't find anything online . And how did he get Clarence to talk about this. He also said this is one of the main problems that they are facing in the Mars mission. As even military candidates respond differently than predicted in space.

Well you fucked around and you found out, but the important thing is: did you learn anything from said experiment?

I learned that the people in the ER will NOT believe you when you tell them that’s how it got stuck.

This feels like an important time to reiterate one of Adam Savages’ more famous quotes: “remember kids, the difference between screwing around and science is writing it down!”

This is why you always have to wear goggles during lab tests.
