Is there a way to manually jettison the nose cone in case there was an anomaly in the closing process?

@elonmusk · 2. Aug. 2020
Nosecone closing is recommended, but not required, for safe entry

All correct. Parachutes were originally the backup landing system, with SuperDraco thrusters as primary. Difficulty of proving thruster landing safety *and* architecture being suboptimal for moon/Mars caused us to change focus to parachutes.

However, we did prove that a SuperDraco landing could work by doing a propulsive hover

When @SpaceX’s Crew Dragon deorbits, I know many will be asking, “Why didn’t they use the SuperDraco engines?” & maybe “can they use the SuperDracos if the parachutes don’t work?” Well here’s those answers in a sneak peek for tomorrow’s video all about reentering from orbit! 🚀

There’s a TON of recent Tesla purchasers in BC 🇨🇦, questioning their @tesla decision. Where are all the Superchargers? We need double in Merrit, & new ones in Williams Lk, Cache Creek, Quesnel, Prince George etc....🤨@elonmusk @Kristennetten @TeslaForThe_Win
