    It seems to me that whenever the Shuttle was launched
    for a Mir docking or an ISS docking, the respective
    Space Station would lead the shuttle at launch time by
    20 minutes or so.  Today's launch seem like a radical
    departure (so to speak) from past launches (< 5 minute
    difference).
    
    Does anyonw know why?
