Unlikely. There would have had to have been a Soyuz almost ready to go that could be used for the purpose, and there wasn&#x27;t.  I&#x27;m also not sure that a Soyuz could have been launched from Baikonur into the orbital plane that <i>Columbia</i> was flying in; they commonly launch into the ISS&#x27; orbital plane, and we already know <i>Columbia</i> couldn&#x27;t have gotten there.  And, even if you <i>could</i> get a Soyuz there in time, <i>Columbia</i> wasn&#x27;t equipped for retrieving supplies from another spacecraft.  It wasn&#x27;t carrying a RMS robot arm, for instance, nor did they have any SAFER jetpacks for their pressure suits.  Getting supplies out of another spacecraft, even one nearby, without either of those would be tricky at best...maybe too tricky for a crew already possibly suffering from partial CO2 poisoning.
