Only in your delusions.



when all human transport depends on soyuz, backup plans should exist,
espical;ly since dragon although not human rated is the ONLY other
return system with a heatshield.......

Just give 'em parachutes and you don't need a heat shield. *Bail out
from ISS and reenter. *Then you don't need Dragon and the survival
probability isn't any worse than stuffing people into a cargo bay and
reentering.
