On: SpaceX – Pad abort test successful

[justifier]

i thought i remembered, and so confirmed(i), that the super dracos were positioned in pairs and run at half thrust each

in the event of a failure the others will increase thrust to compensate:

if your analysis is correct, i'd speculate further at a possible intentional shutdown to test the super draco's buddy system
