    VEHICLE: Escape/Orbital-Drop Pod

    …with button activated door-blasting (a.k.a. un-clicking) function.

    Is your ship damaged? Are those travel companions annoying you? Bail in this fancy shell to flee that danger/torment with ease and comfort, and crash-land into safety*, safely.

    Rotatable thrusters enable easy low-gravity manoeuvring and reliably help deceleration on planetary descent. Slightly slimmer, non-rotatable thrusters (variant shown in image) would need less pieces though.

    The rear button pushes the door/screen off of its’ studs via axles, allowing the passenger to emerge. Re-attach it and blast-off again (ignoring the technicality that the opening blast would've likely compromised pressure integrity), or play out a bleak ‘stranded on a space rock’ scenario. A spare air tank (neatly clicked onto a stud inside) can be equipped if needed.

    *Safety is defined as 'an improvement to being in a ship with failing systems and/or dreadful company’. Actual safety and survival beyond pod landing is not assured.
