SpaceX Dragon capsule proves it can hover
SpaceX is never shy to share the latest advancements of those snazzy Crew Dragon capsules, even if things don't always go as planned. Now, Elon Musk's firm is providing details from a test that took place last November at a facility in McGregor, Texas, where the Dragon V2 showed off its incredible propulsive landing features. The trial only lasted about five seconds, but this was more than enough time for the capsule to generate about 33,000 lbs of thrust as it hovered, before returning to a resting position.
