I'm interested in the effect of a single shuttle delay
on the shuttle launch schedule.  I can appreciate that
mission planners are reluctant to slip the schedule due
to the logistics followon effects on crew training,
payloads etc.

The crunch must come when the launch crew commitments begin
to overlap.  

Can NASA handle two overlapping missions now that there is another
pad available at KSC ?

It would be a treat to see a couple of orbiters landing in
line abreast formation :-)

PS: Anyone know whether the Jan 20th mission is on schedule ?
