Oral, You have 7 highly trained engineers/chemists etc and you have electricity and water. I seem to recall a group of engineers saved themselves from death on Apollo 13? Do you think a similar group of astronauts would fail to improvise a solution to electrolyze water and vent the H2 over board? Now they may have a gear down sensor that tells when the gear is down, but they may not have a separate sensor that says door open, at least not on their panel. Since the whole thing will be linked it may have seemed redundant to have a "door has fallen off" signal. After all the sensor may be on the hinge part and if the door is torn off it might not register since the hinge did not go through it's range. Too many unknowables, one would like to think they had a door fallen off signal, but they may not have it. Bill
