[QUOTE]Originally posted by Dat: [QB] [QUOTE]1) They repair the Shuttle before re-entry. This was dismissed after I found out that none of the crewmembers were trained in doing this. This may now change. 2) Send another shuttle to possibly transfer the crew out of Columbia. This was also dismissed as the logistics of getting a shuttle launched to meet up with Columbia is literally impossible as Columbia would have starved. 3) Send the shuttle over to the International Space Station, transfer the crew over along with the supplies, then send another shuttle over to transfer the crew home, or to repair Columbia. The ISS should have enough supplies, but there would be a question on if it will be enough. [/QUOTE]1. Columbia didn't have the arm installed for this mission and besides the arm's reach wouldn't have allowed anyone to get to the underside. 2. For the reason's you've already stated, this isn't possible. It actually takes a few months to prep a shuttle for launch. 3. As has already been mentioned, she had no airlock installed and she's too heavy. If she could have docked, she would have put too much stress on the station. [/QB][/QUOTE]
