Curious what happens if the parachute for the landing capsule fails or only one deploys? Does it spin out of control and not land at 1 mph?
There are two significant differences between this spacecraft and Apollo CM: Apollo CM landed on water, while New Shepard lands on land and Apollo CM used a crushable piece of hull for final landing shock attenuation (that's why its landing attitude was slightly skewed), while New Shepard seems to use landing thrusters (a' la Soyuz).
They also tested an emergency escape from the booster near maximum dynamic pressure https://youtu.be/ESc_0MgmqOA?t=51s
