I suspect it is mostly scheduling. According to the article she is only staying up for 10 days. Shuttle flights are usually a few months apart. I also believe there have been astronauts that have gone up on a shuttle and returned in a Russian capsule, and visa versa. I don't think this is a statement from the Korean government about the US or its space program.
