That will cost time that is needed to analyse the accomplished test mission and prepare a the Discovery as Backup shuttle for the next Space Shuttle start. The flight will have much resemblance to the original Space Shuttle project that has been modified because the development cost would be 3x higher than the final version for 5 Billion $.
