I wonder if they'll have the spectacular booster breakup as the Dragon pulls away on the launch abort system that occurred on the final test of the Little Joe II/Apollo abort system




BTW, for those of you who aren't Apollo geeks like me, that Little Joe II breakup wasn't intended. One of the roll control devices failed hard over, causing the Little Joe II to start spinning so fast that the centrifugal forces tore it apart. But it made for a spectacularly successful test of the Apollo abort system.
