The Dragon has integral abort / landing rockets (as opposed to the
escape tower for Mercury, Gemini and Apollo) which lofts the capsule
to the altitude required for proper parachute deployment.

are, shall we say, unusual in both ferocity and predictability. This
is beyond narcissism. I used to think Trump was an 11-year-old, an
undeveloped schoolyard bully. I was off by about 10 years. His needs
are more primitive, an infantile hunger for approval and praise, a
craving that can never be satisfied. He lives in a cocoon of solipsism
where the world outside himself has value - indeed exists - only
insofar as it sustains and inflates him."
