What happens if NASA astronauts need to abort?
Read full article: What happens if NASA astronauts need to abort?KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, Fla. – When the Crew Dragon capsule goes up, it must come down in the water.

The flight path after launch of Dragon Crew takes it up the eastern seaboard, over the Atlantic Ocean, and even over Ireland before it reaches orbit. Thompson said the boats will be dropped from C-130 or C-17 military cargo planes in the event of an abort. Maj. Chris Hearne, 45th Operations Group mission support division chief, said para-rescuers discovered during training with a mock-up that Crew Dragon floats upright.
