It seems crazy to design and build a new 'lifeboat' when the Soyuz
already exists. Might it be politically possible for NASA to buy
lifeboats from a US company which would buy Soyuz's from Russia,
'upgrade' them somehow (coat of paint and decals?), and thus make them
domestic? Perhaps this would provide just enough face-saving to be
allowed under the US laws and the inter-agency agreement?


No.
