It has been reported widely over the last couple of days that there was no way the shuttle could have docked with the International Space Station. For one thing, such a docking requires a special module to be brought along on the shuttle (the Columbia did not bring it). Also, because of some other issue the Columbia was incapable of docking with the ISS under any circumstances on any flight. I believe the Columbia (because it was the oldest shuttle) was too heavy to be launched to the altitude that was necessary for a docking with the ISS.

Don't worry. This farce is being put forth by some more worthless Hebrew litigators who are just bored with filing superfluous litigation!!! (grin)
