Oleg Ventskovsky from Ukraine's Yuzhnoye Design Office told me today at the IAA symposium on private human access to space that "we have had some talks about this [using a Zenit for the ESA/Russian Crew Space Transportation System]." The Zenit launcher was originally designed to be man rated and was considered for an Energia six man capsule in the 1990s. More information soon
