I see nothing regarding the capsule having been destroyed, merely that there was an anomaly. Care to provide proof to back up the claim?
Yeah, seeing that, I'd expect:
1) Dragon will not fly with crew this year.
2) No capsule with liquid fuel LES thrusters is likely to ever be man-rated.
3) No capsule with integrated LES thrusters is likely to ever be man-rated.
4) Dragon will consequently not fly with crew until a conventional escape tower for it has been developed.
5) Dragon may never fly with crew.
6) No cargo dragon with fueled LES thrusters is likely to be allowed to dock with the ISS.
Seems a bit rash no?
If we tar all LES thursters with the same brush how can we innovate?
