Are they are creating a new certificate?

And now, a whole new segment of the population can hear those wonderful
words "I'm from the FAA, and I'm here to help you."

Do you need three take-offs and landings to a full stop
before carrying passengers?

What are the required maneuvers for the one-hour of flight to fullfil a
BFR?

Setting a stable orbit
Changes of orbital inclination
Docking and undocking procedures
Gravitational slingshots
Atmospheric braking

Additionally, you must make three docking and undocking manoevres to a
full stop every 90 days to be current to carry passengers.

So if you fly to the International Space Station and stay for more than
90 days, does that mean you can't fly home with passengers onboard?

You have to undock and redock three times first. If you're in shadow,
you have to do it in shadow.

In that case, each has to be to a full stop.
