Could NASA support two shuttles in space at the same time?

Ulysses, of course, has priority over Astro, but if Astro gets delayed
for much longer, it might have to compete with Ulysses for a launch date.

I think a rendevous of two shuttles would make for specatcular TV coverage
and give NASA some much needed GOOD press.

Maybe an MMU flight or two between the shuttles... It would make
Apollo/Soyuz look downright primitive!
