Ask Elon.....


Seriously, the only viable scenario (not easy but not impossible) is to rush SpaceX to launch a Crew Dragon with only two astronauts, leaving the two seats empity for both Suni and Butch. Obviously there are several trivial matters like hardware availability, windows, time constraints and the last (but not least) to find a couple of SpaceX pressurized suit of the appropriate size.


Unfortunately when NASA has issued the COTS contract has never thought about common interfaces, with the dramatic results that a Boeing's seat couldn't swap with SpaceX's seat and Boeing and SpaceX suits doesn't share the same connectors.....


The setbacks is to have two more crews onboard the ISS for a long time (months for sure).
