Discovery, Atlantis and Endeavor have visited the ISS.
Challenger (which was destroyed before the beginning of ISS construction) and Enterprise (which was a flight test vehicle and not space-worthy) have visited the International Space Station. Columbia was slated to visit the ISS on STS-118 but was destroyed on reentry and this mission was flown by Endeavour instead.
The act of two spacecraft joining together. Like the ISS and the space shuttles.
The are reusable space exploration tools, and they are used for satellite repairs and ISS construction.
Could be 'Discovery' or 'Endeavour' - both are space shuttles that have visited the International Space Station.
Satellite recovery, repair, and deployment. Scientific experiment platform. Ferry to and from the ISS.
No, the Space Shuttle Columbia was not able to dock with the ISS. This shuttle was used to do other NASA missions until its untimely crash.

The International Space Station was assembled in orbit; it is much too large to have been launched as a single unit. Most of the component modules of the ISS were carried into orbit by one of the space shuttles, which always launched from Cape Canaveral, Florida.
Well both do...the shuttles go in to orbit and return (at least they used to when NASA was still flying them), the ISS is left in orbit
The space shuttles and ISS have special toilets for astronauts to use the restroom. The astronauts must be strapped to the toilet because of 0 gravity. When they are finished the feces are flushed out into the vacuum of space.
The shuttles will be retired by 2010 in order for NASA to channel resources into the Constellation program for future Moon, Mars, and ISS missions.
Well... Space stations are space stations and space shuttles are space shuttles. They are kind of like flying cars.
