Let me address this point:

Russia just this weekend launched a resupply ship to the ISS. Could it have resupplied the stranded shuttle instead?

Ok...If the Columbia cannot dock with the ISS, what makes you think that a spacecraft that CAN dock with the ISS would be able to dock with the Columbia???? Use your head, man...

I was thinking that if the resupply ship navigated near to the shuttle, the crew could retreive the supplies without docking. Anothjer poster told me that the crew had no EVA suits and would not have been able to get to the resupply ship even it did rendevous.
