Elon Musk can send one of his ‘Uber’ Spacecraft to pick them up. No worries. :)

Musk can only help if they can deliver a Dragon compatible space suit for each of those to be rescued. That is what delayed the rescue after the Boeing botch at the ISS.

So there’s a standard docking hatch design now ? I hope so for their sakes.
I’m surprised space junk hasn’t been a big issue with ISS.

They probably developed their own docking mechanism that is incompatible with anyone else’s. Sounds like they may wind up okay, and I’m sure they can be kept supplied until an empty crew vehicle can auto-dock with the station.
