Maybe Reiter will also fly on another mission now (on Soyuz instead of Olsen?).

"Our plans at the present for Thomas Reiter are still to launch him on [STS-121] and to return him on [STS-116]," said Alan Thirkettle, ESA’s Head of Development for the Directorate of Human Spaceflight, in an e-mail interview with space.com on August 26. "The resolution of the [external tank] problems has to first be achieved and a firm launch date established before any plans can be cast in concrete."

Olsen is still launching on TMA-7 with McArthur and Tokarev.
