Sorry (there was some confusion below): Dragon 2 has a powered escape system. Dragon 1 just has parachutes for the recovery phase. You safe the parachutes for the ascent phase because they're dangerous. If they accidentally trigger, you lose the whole rocket due to structural failure from the sudden forces. You'd most likely lose the capsule/chute at this point too. A chance of recovering the cargo in the event of an incident like this just isn't considered worth it. |
