SpaceX revealed Dragon New Landing Method just Humiliated Boeing Starliner,NASA shocked!
Have you ever seen SpaceX use the SuperDraco thrusters on the Dragon spacecraft? Probably not, right? But these engines are at the heart of Dragon's new landing method—a concept from the past that the company has revived, and this method is exactly what makes Dragon the safest spacecraft in the world, surpassing even the Starliner.
Let's find out everything in today’s episode!
In space exploration, ensuring astronauts return safely to Earth has always been a critical challenge and the top priority. While parachute technology has been a reliable solution since the earliest days of aerospace history, SpaceX has developed a backup system for its Crew Dragon spacecraft.

This system leverages the SuperDraco engines, originally designed as an abort mechanism to protect the crew in the event of a rocket failure during launch. Specifically, the eight engines, arranged in four pairs around the spacecraft, can generate enough thrust to propel the crew capsule away from a failing or potentially explosive rocket during the critical moments of ascent.
According to Steve Stitch, engineers at SpaceX have extended the functionality of the SuperDraco system. "It's an emergency contingency capability for landing where if the main parachutes were all to fail, the SuperDraco thrusters will fire right before the vehicle would make contact with the water. It would be an emergency configuration to save the crew on a really bad day."

To add to this, William Gerstenmaier from SpaceX shared more insights: “This is the first time it flies on a NASA mission.” He explained, “The way it works is, in the case all the parachutes totally fail, this essentially fires the thrusters at the very end, giving the crew a chance to land safely and essentially escape the vehicle. So it’s not used in any, you know, partial conditions, since the Dragon can land with one chute out. We can land with other failures in the chute system as well.”
The system works when "the capsule detects that there's a problem, and it fires the, essentially the Draco thrusters at the very end, and then provides a tolerable landing through the crew. So it's a, it's a true deep contingency,"
Now, even in the initial design of the Crew Dragon, SpaceX applied a strict principle of redundancy to its landing parachute system. The spacecraft was originally equipped with three main parachutes, calculated to ensure a safe landing even if one failed. However, NASA, with its high safety standards, required SpaceX to add a fourth parachute. While this decision was made to further enhance safety, it’s worth noting that the additional chute might not have been strictly necessary.

As alway, an excellent video with super information, showing again, how detrimental NASA can be to the development of innovative approaches and technology.

One more huge flaw in starliner … they don’t retrieve the failed thrusters. This makes determining the reason for failure very difficult and means a design change to eliminate the failure mode much more difficult and uncertain.

It is already been announced in the news that NASA did not want them to use the super Draco thrusters for landing. Yes, they did require an abort system, but did not like the propellant, possibly leaking out when astronauts would come back to Earth.

We should be thankful that the rocket is this capable, and I believe in the future landings we may see these rockets used so that we would not need to go pick the astronauts up from the Gulf of Mexico.

The time bobbing in the water is causing the astronauts to get seasickness.

and what if the capsule is up side down ore tumbling then what

So Where is the abort system on Starship?

[leschortos]

Why not just use it all the time, your hauling around the fuel anyway. Dump the parachutes. They gotta be heavy.

This was a decent video so why the clickbait title?

This amazing abort system, mounted on the outside of the capsule will kill before it saves lives. Sorry, bad idea from the start. Musk swore that cargo Dragon, the one with the windows, remember, would never carry people. Not my astronauts, I swore under my breath. Snake oil salesman. 😑 Ouch ! If reentry is asymetric, the Super Draco thrusters will explode. This is the main reason Elon will not fly on Dragon. Period. He really is a goog engineer. He understands the odds. NASA does not. Proprietary, I'm sure. I would never sit on top of the "It will never be man - rated" Falcon 9 while the upper stage is being fueled. Neither will he, that is reason #2 he will not fly. This abort option looks great. Will probably work. It is exactly how a terrible idea, a jury rigged abort system, was sold originally. Please don't act like this is new, it's not. Luv SpaceX, hate Musk's guts. He is a liar, always has been. Starship is a point to point cargo/ troop transport for the Pentagon. It's not going to Mars, dummies. Wake up, we are paying for all of this expensive stuff he throws away. 🤑 The "new" testing. Blow ut up, film it, learn. 🤣😂🤣 Look, I saved the payload shroud ! F... you ! I remember the DC Clipper & Shuttle C variants. 🖕 The only thing reinvented here is how to rip off the american taxpayer. Way to corner the market, then rob us blind. How american.

Stop Lying they haven't humiliated no one....LOL...stop making this shit up...
