Word on the grapevine is that they tried to deploy parachutes, but
it's complex and wasn't a prebaked contingency script. O'course grapes
lie sometimes.
This just in: an 'anonymous coward' is disappointed that no one has
made a "falcon nein" joke yet.

While cargo Dragon has recovery systems, it has no "abort software," AFAIK.
One can argue wither it should have or not, but the focus has been on
Version 2 for abort.

Not even one lol.
I'll explain it then.
"Of Course I Still Love You"* is the name of the autonomous spaceport
drone ship.
"Dragon" is the name of the autonomous drone spacecraft.
Unverified, but, launch day was reported to be Elon Musk's B'day.
"Dragon" fell of his ride "Falcon" on a trajectory that would hit the
bulls-eye Of "Course I Still Love You". **
What I was wondering was, why "Dragon" failed to use all that
wonderful abort software that opens the parachutes to save the
"Astronauts***" ****
