        @SpaceX Cargo Dragon has 18 small Draco thrusters. From this image, it looks like D2 only has eight. Are there more in the rear of the ship?

        @Nivo0o0 I know it has 8 SuperDracos, but what about the smaller Dracos. How do they do yaw, pitch, roll & collective (sideways movement)?

        @John_Gardi @Nivo0o0 6 DOF, 8 thrusters should be enough to manage with up to two engine failures, no ?

        @smenor This capsule may not have a full compliment of small Dracos. At 90lbs trust, they won't have much authority during abort. @Nivo0o0

        @John_Gardi @Nivo0o0 wow yeah 90lbs of thrust sounds insane when you're pushing >9klbs of spacecraft - especially if you need to clear

        @SpaceX Does pad abort rely solely on internal Draco power to Crew Dragon?

        @John_Gardi @SpaceX Thanks for the clarification. Wasn't sure if they utilised a different approach for pad abort. Hope there is vid!
