Two other things about trying to get to the ISS. One, the Columbia was too heavy to dock with the ISS, it's never used for those missions because of that. It was the heaviest of the Orbiters. Second, by day 16 it wouldn't have had anywhere near the fuel to reach the orbit ISS is in.

In space I am not sure but I thought things were weightless.
