Of course there was a force field in the hangar bay that kept a full atmosphere in the hangar bay at all times. How else would you keep the viewers' interest during otherwise uninteresting scenes? P.S. Phil, how far would the motor's vibrations carry through the (undamped metal) framework of the Enterprise. Compressional vibration is damned hard to damp, after all. If anyone believes any of this, even in the context of Star Drek, I have a bridge for sale, and a Kiptin! to go along with it.
