We don't know why a person was riding on top of a capsule that was being towed off the coast of Port Canaveral in Florida.
The footage was shared by NASASpaceFlight and shows a person in a hard hat and life vest riding on a vehicle.
It's not clear what the person was doing here or which capsule can be seen in the footage, since neither a Crew Dragon nor a Cargo Dragon capsule has splashed down in almost four months.
One theory is that the capsule is a practice one, which has no scorch marks, no draco, and apparently it has a bilge pump as you can see water squirting out of it.
The hypothesis is compelling. Significant marks can be seen on the outside of the Crew and Cargo Dragon capsule.
A full-size model of the Crew Dragon spaceship was tested in the water in order to figure out how to save astronauts from the capsule.
It's not clear if the model is the same one as seen in the video. Futurism reached out to the company.
The United States' space program has been greatly affected by the Dragon craft.
NASA has been able to launch both astronauts and supplies into space with the help of the company's first and second generation Dragon spaceships.
Over two dozen missions to the International Space Station have been completed by the company.
The NASA logo on the rocket looks completely messed up.
