Thanks! I was quite puzzled, as they had this roadmap of having manned mission in like 2 years from now. Now as I learned that they do static fire shortly before lanching, and given that in this moment the astronauts should be already there in the rocket... I can't really imagine this.

no, the static fire is a day or so before the launch. in this case, the payload was integrated, and for a manned mission the dragon 2 capsule would be mated, but no crew/astronauts present yet.
