        Its possible they could last long enough for some kind of rescue mission, assuming they were in the cabin and not blown out into space.

        Fairly sure the payload bay does not have windows.

        Or they may have been able to rendezvous with the ISS and live there, assuming the damage was only to the shuttle bay.

        They’d certainly die if they attempted to re enter the atmosphere.

        Though, judging by how small the earth is… they seem to be significantly higher in earth orbit than any shuttle missions I am aware of?

          Kool-aid man knocked the whole thing out of orbit. Their bodies have been stuck like this, in relation to the shuttle, for days, and now for the rest of time.
