This is a completely different Dragon - Dragon 2.0 if you will.

  What is different?

    - Designed to carry crew - Launch abort system (superdraco engines on the side of the capsule) - Automated docking port, Dragon 1 has a berthing port that requires the ISS to use the CanadaArm to maneuver it in for berthing and astronauts in the ISS to make/release the connection. From what I understand it's basically a ground up new design with a new pressure vessel. Eventually they will start using a version of Dragon 2 for cargo missions as well although supposeldy it won't have launch abort capability.

    Everything! It's total revamp. Different dimensions, different style, weighs twice as much.
