Totally fascinating subject. It wasn't clear to me if Dragon 2 is going to use the APAS-95 connector (what the Shuttle used), or the newer NDS connector.
It also made me think.. was there some kind of adapter used for Apollo missions after Apollo 13 for the CO2 scrubbers? Or was the hack the "official way" of getting around problem?

Dragon 2 will use a newer connector, scheduled to go up on one of the future Dragon missions, replacing the current APAS-95 connector. A bit sad to see it go. :(
