The shuttle crew size is typically five to seven people. The Soyuz seats
two or three. You do the math.



Someone should suggest this idea -

Produce a modified version of the Soyuz without an Orbital Module and
possibly with a smaller Service Module. If two could be carried in the
payload bay, they only take up about half the space, you can now return a
crew of six.
