He really doesn’t look 90.

He doesn’t even look 80.

I watched the post-flight interview at the launch pad on Daily Mail and they said something very interesting. On hitting the atmosphere, they said they suddenly took at least 5g and probably more. It tells me that they can’t launch the capsule any higher than they are now because the g’s would be too high when they hit the atmosphere. Flying any higher would require a completely different flight profile where they enter the atmosphere at a shallower angle.

On another note, does anyone know if the system has a launch abort capability? I didn’t see anything that stood out as one.
