Of course Soyuz has features that Gemini didn't, such as a crew of 3
(yes, I
know for a good portion of its history it was limited to 2) and a docking
mechanism that permits the crew to make a transfer to another craft w/o
spacesuits. Gemini didn't have that and any design that permits that
quickly becomes something other than Gemini.

So, no Soyuz isn't nearly as useless.


Perhaps Soyuz is the real answer, then. Placing it in production in
the USA, perhaps.


Won't happen.
