> Crew Dragon can be rated for hundreds of days and doesn't have the volume/mass/cost to spare.

Mass is often an issue with spaceflight. We're arguing about what's better overall, not what's better by all possible criteria. Crew Dragon I'd say has more mass to spare than earlier spacecrafts - because at least of economy of scale and more mass-efficient subsystems.



They could just stick it on top of Falcon Heavy. No mass issues then. AFAIK FH is not going to be man rated any time soon though.
