Ok, we know than Blue is working in a crew spacecraft, is time to vote and speculate how many passenger-astronauts can carry...

This poll is poorly specified. The word "spacecraft" can be singular or plural. Is this about the very first BO crewed spacecraft, or all future spacecraft? Does BO HLS count? I arbitrarily voted for their first EDL capsule, and I voted for 6.

Bezos: "What we use over and over again at Blue is a particular strategy where we choose a medium-performing version of a high-performing architecture."

Interpreting that in this context, Blue will start with a crew of 4 in an architecture that could support 6 or 7.
