I have a bit of a silly question so I'll ask it here~
Will there be the equivalent of auto crash-test dummies strapped into the capsule's seats for the abort test?
And if not, if SpaceX wanted to make some cash off this mission, they could strap life-sized Kerbals into the seats instead, and Squad could pay them for an awesome advertising opportunity for KSP's "launch"! 
Yes. Buster the crash test dummy will be taking a ride.

Don't worry it's just a short jump for Science.

If the Mythbusters were doing this test, they'd insist on packing the truss with explosives to properly simulate aborting off an exploding rocket.

That could just as well be Hans Delbrück, scientist and saint. (You have to be a Mell Brooks fan to get this one!)

Just made this (using a pseudonym youtube acct)
In a possible universe where Blue Origin nails a landing from high altitude before SpaceX, and Elon has a temper. Sincerely hope neither of these things happens. Probably won't get a Blue Origin tour if they ever see this.

Boy, this wiki leaves a bit to be desired in some places:
"Virgin is expected to commence space flights sometime in 2011 or 2012 after testing of SpaceShipTwo is complete."
It was on the Internet, so it must be true...
Sorry for the weak link.
