The ISS has always been a source of soft diplomacy, and it’s cool to see the short private missions expand that. It’s cool that Dragon is available and able to make these possible.
Regarding Gaganyaan to the ISS- their first crewed flight is NET… late 2025? Their timeline could work to get one to the ISS. I wouldn’t be surprised to see them book a flight to a Vast station. They also signed something or other with Blue for Orbital Reef, so that could be their target, too.
