Will SpaceX provide emergency egress joy ride in a basket down a long
rope like for Shuttle?


No. That would be stupid.


And yet that is exactly what they are doing. SpaceX will reuse the
shuttle system, just attached higher on the fixed service structure.
ULA will have its own version of the egress system which will consist of
individual harnesses sliding along the ziplines instead of the larger
multi-person basket(s) at pad 39A.
