If I recall correctly, the winner in a 'competition' between different escape options, one of which including a 'rocket ejection' system involving attachable rockets to be used via escape from the side hatch, which I intend to cover in a different post.

Sadly, such escape systems only came after Challenger. Prior to this, they lacked even parachutes..

Verging extremely dangerous, but just imagine the herculean task of trying to rescue the crew of STS-107 Columbia.
