“Of course, it would be a matter of honor for us to deliver astronauts on [Crew] Dragon ships,” Musk quoted TASS as saying.

He noted that he has no information about why an agreement on cross flights to the ISS on Russian Soyuz and Crew Dragon ships has not yet been reached.

He suggested that it might be a matter of communication disruption.

Earlier, SpaceX received a NASA contract to deliver astronauts to the moon.
