Ten minutes between entry interface and drogue deployment.  That's shorter than on Shuttle, isn't it?  Of course Dragon isn't making those banking turns.

IIRC that is about how long it took for Apollo spacecraft to deploy their drogues,maybe even less. But don't quote me as that was a loooooooong time ago! :)

Dragon at EI (Entry Interface).

Am I the only one who's getting a serious Apollo/Gemini vibe from this? ;)

Dragon's just taking time to soar through the air before having to slow down for a water landing.
