This may either be an incredibly stupid question or a prophecy, so
mark it down to ignorance.

If the Russians are truly stranded in orbit, is it possible for the
U.S. to bring them down with the shuttle?

1. Could we ready one in time?

2. Is it possible for the shuttle to reach the orbit of Salyut 7?

3. Would the Russians ask for help?

4. Would Reagan give it to them?
