SpaceX SpaceX's Crew Dragon will complete an ocean landing, or splashdown, for ocean retrieval of the crew. The company is looking to have the spacecraft splash down in either the Atlantic or Pacific Ocean and is seeking permission to use the Gulf of Mexico as a backup option. Crew Dragon's design previously had four legs to assist in landing, but those were later removed. The Falcon 9 booster will make an ocean-platform landing. Previously, the Falcon 9 first stage has landed on SpaceX's drone ship named "Of Course I Still Love You." How the crew will escape SpaceX In order to protect the astronauts on board Crew Dragon, the craft has a launch abort system (also known as a launch escape system). With this system, the craft and crew can quickly get away from the rocket in case it fails. For those picturing a "Speed Racer" style of ejector seat, prepare for a disappointment: Instead of individual crewmembers escaping one by one, the entire spacecraft would be ejected away from the launch vehicle if there's trouble. SpaceX's launch abort system is unique because it is integrated into the Crew Dragon capsule itself. This means that the crew will be able to eject Crew Dragon away from the rocket anytime between launch and when the capsule is in orbit. The Dragon's parachutes
