Boeing said its Starliner spacecraft is experiencing five "small" helium leaks as the crew's mission aboard the ISS was extended to June 18.

    Depending on how the Starliner leaks progress, I might be fine with lying on the floor of a Cargo Dragon.

      Originally they had planned on two more seats in the Crew Dragon behind / below the commander and pilot, but when they switched from a powered land landing to a parachute splashdown, they had to adjust the angles of the seats & the travel in the seat suspension. Those changes required them to drop the second row of seats.

        I think the original design had three seats in the second row, for a total of seven.
