Apparently the author of this article isn’t aware of SpaceX.

Humans are currently only flying using entirely Russian equipment (Soyuz). For heavy lift Falcon 9 is currently flying, and Falcon Heavy (with more payload than any Atlas version, 53,000 kg to LEO) will fly this fall.

SpaceX is also working on a manned system, which should be available in a couple more years.

Or the new Russian new tech system which puts all of those to shame and should be flying at about 2030.
