Except the shuttle payload bay was not pressurized.

Even with the suits on, as shown, it would just take longer for them to die like so.

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.

I...

I didn't want to have to resort to this, but there's only one man even crazier than Kool Aid man crazy enough to out crazy this situation.

Get Jeb on the phone.

Now I fully expect someone to make this a custom rescue mission for KSP.
