Yeah, I noticed that also. It's covered with an insulation blanket when in orbit, maybe the black is soot from that burning off. It's also supposed to have some sort of sprayed-on ablative coating over the metal of the spacecraft proper, that could be another explanation. Dragon sure looked in good shape after its splashdown: http://www.spacex.com/updates.php Pat
