Does anyone know what the chances of a mission
involving more than one shuttle at a time?  I was under
the impression that despite the pictures of shuttles
docking with space stations, they couldn't actually
space dock with each other yet.

Also has NASA ever handle the launch of more than one
manned vehicle?  I'm sure they didn't during the
Mercury project.  I think they didn't during Gemini.
They only mission like this I can recall is the joint
American-Russian one and the Russians must have handle
the launch of their Soyuz.
