Reply to comment by SpaceInMyBrain in NASA mulls SpaceX backup plan for crew of Russia’s leaky Soyuz ship by jivatman

I would be surprised if the Dragon planned for Polaris Dawn still has its IDA. With the planned spacewalk for Dawn there has been a lot of talk about how the docking adapter makes the entrance quite small-too small to even fit a NASA EVA suit. I've no doubt that Jared would give NASA his Dragon if asked, but it may not be possible.

Good point. The question we don't know the answer to is how quickly the IDA can be reinstalled but NASA is loath to accept anything quickly. Fortunately we have the Crew 6 option.
