This proposal (by being part of Polaris) is implied to be manned as far as I can tell.

It's also proposed to be funded by Isaacman. Reading between the lines, he's probably planning to go to space personally and fix the Hubble. Which is kinda a vanity project at that point, but hey, I'll take it.

Both he and SpaceX seem committed to expanding the capabilities of private spaceflight and private astronauts. If they are into it, why not?
