• Yes, it'll be a bit like the STS-125/STS-126 situation, pre-Hubble trouble.
  
  With Discovery standing by as STS-401, she could technically launch a month later. Windows will be a factor, but baring that, at least there won't be the Beta Angle Cutoff STS-126 was racing against (Nov 25) from what I can tell.
