Re: How hard would it be just to have 2 Soyuz available? (n/t)
< Every Soyuz needs a commander and a flight engineer
That is why ISS needs a CRV. If the pilot and engineer is too ill to fly it out of there it won't help much. The design of the CRV enables anyone to walk, climb or crawl in and push a few buttons and you are on your way back to Earth automatically and not having to worry about reentry or landing. If there is one project that should be completed for ISS it is the CRV. The partners will help build it.
