This is nothing but media scaremongering. The report makes the problem look dreadful but it's no more than a little inconvenience and a slower trip home.
The aircraft must have been depressurised at low level in the first place to allow the launcher to open, and the door just wouldn't close when the crew had finished. Simple - fly home below 8000' just like the SH, SARH and FJ world, all with the advantage of a better view!
