They didn't even bother to go outside the ship to go look at it?No remote manip arm on this flight ...
(It would be nice if we all knew what this crew was *trained* for and outfitted with before we all propose what NASA *could* have done ...)

You don't need an arm to put on the space suit, and the space-walk backpack and tether.
The arm is simply for making out-of-bay repairs and accessing other objects, etc.
Astronaut + Spacesuit + Tether rope = spacewalk.
Sorry, I'm not buying it.
