- pacificmint 4y agoCould people ride the Cargo Dragon down in an emergency?
- khuey 4y agoCargo Dragon doesn't have seats, so no.
- userbinator 4y agoIt's still pressurised, so they should be able to survive in it.
- bewaretheirs 4y agoBut what happens when the capsule hits the water?
- justsomehnguy 4y agoFuneral expenses instead of cremation.
- yosito 4y agoThe same as those old-school wooden roller coasters with no safety-bar. You'd better hold on tight!
- messe 4y agoIt floats. It’s designed for bringing cargo down as well as up, so it doesn’t experience dangerous levels of deceleration. Theoretically, it could bring back people, although they may need an oxygen tank and a way of strapping themselves down. It probably wouldn’t be a pleasant landing, but it’s unlikely to injure them significantly.
- bierjunge 4y agoAnd even if there is a significant injury risk, it's still better than certain death.
- samwillis 4y agoThey could try and move he seats from the duff Soyuz into Crew Dragon if they have suitable fixing points and tools...
- remarkEon 4y agoWhich of these are return vehicles (human-rated or otherwise)? Just the two Dragons and the Soyuz, right? Edit: neat that I get to call a spacecraft a “Dragon”.
- rippercushions 4y agoOnly the Crew Dragon and the Soyuz are designed for human spaceflight and capable of returning to Earth. The Cargo Dragon can also land, the rest are all expendable.
- thriftwy 4y agoThat's a lot - I did not realize that ISS is so busy of a space port.
