Many years ago now when the ATV was first being thought out there was a
design called "CTV" that used the ATV craft with a manned capsule
instead of the cargo section. The capsule was a scaled up version of the
ARD demonstrator that eventually flew on the second (I think..) Ariane 5
flight.

That sounds a lot like the Saturn 1B Apollo CSM. I wonder if the
capabilities are also similar. Interesting....
