Last statement I saw for private Crew Dragon flights would still be 4 passengers and probably 1 or 2 crew. I have no idea if this SpaceX module will take the place of the Soyuz module up there. I think that Soyuz which just docked in October may actually be the 'lifeboat', as they rotate them every 6 months. |

What a great flight and step forward for manned low earth orbital flight. That extra seat in combination with not been crammed in like a sardine (Soyuz) will be a real boon for space tourism.

Earlier this evening I was able to see the ISS and trailing just behind was the Space X capsule. Even though it looked like a large star with a small star transiting the night sky togather, it looked cool.
