Airlock

Airlocks serve as the entrance and exits to spaceships, whether it is docking with another ship or for extravehicular activity (EVA).

Ejecting a person from an airlock or launch tube is a common and easy execution method ("Flesh and Bone", "Collaborators") and the phrase "throwing someone out of an airlock" has gained some notoriety.

Some airlocks have an observation booth from where a depressuried airlock can be safely monitored by personell. It has the same layout as the launch tube control room (A Day in the Life).
