Love the detailed Dragon Infographic. But that man for scale seems way too small to me. Dragon is not that big, is it?
It's not too wrong, I think.
Height 7.2m

Dragon is not that big, is it?http://www.spacex.com/dragonHeight 7.2mDiameter 3.7mYes, the man is a bit short. Easiest way way to judge the scale: trunk diameter is 12 feet, so the man should be half as tall as the trunk diameter. By this measure, he needs to be about 25% bigger (for a standard 6 foot reference figure. BTW, Google says Musk is 6' 2").Nice job otherwise!
And as we now know for sure, from both F9-25 and F9-26, the Grid Fins deploy as the stage is entering it's flip, directly after stage separation, not later in the sequence as you have shown.
One thing I found was the trajectory graphic lacked a notation for fairing sep.
I've been working on a bunch of infographics explaining SpaceX hardware, components, and trajectories. I post all infographics I make at http://zlsa.github.io/infographics/.
