- TaylorAlexander 6y agoThe Crew Dragon Capsule is not expected to be involved in any mars trips. They will use the very large Starship vehicle to travel to and from Mars and it will land with rockets. However I’m not sure what you mean by inefficient here. Parachutes work great on Earth for vehicles of a certain size.
- ceejayoz 6y agoNo, Starship is designed to return to land using rockets.
- pixl97 6y agoIn theory the Dragon could be too, but it was much faster and cheaper to have it splash down with parachutes instead.
