While most of the information in this article looks good, some is
false (e.g. the one about Columbia "not adapted to dock with ISS").

Also, I'm not sure that flying Apollo CM's pulled from museums as
CRV's would be a very good idea. The author seems to have forgotten
the issues raised by the lower pressure CM during the ASTP mission. I
doubt you'd want to mess around with this issue during an emergency
that requires you to leave ISS in a hurry.
