    I read previously that the ISS was “full” and that the two astronauts that are stuck up there have been “bunking up”. If two more astronauts are coming up (instead of 4), then where do they all sleep?

      The other dragon that’s already there is used and the extra people are strapped to the floor. They don’t even need suits (while yes, it would be needed in a decompression event, they’re mostly there for cooling and communications).

      Dragon can bring six back in one craft, it just won’t be very comfortable for two of them. But they’ll be alive.
