Why We Can’t Let Hubble Die!

January 28, 2007 by Sam Sloan   || Category: Science News

Here are just a few reasons why we cannot let the Hubble Telescope languish and die out:

If you can forgive me the pun…to loose Hubble would be not only inexcusable, but an astronomical loss to science that would be monumental in scope.

    These are great, Sam, but, can you link these thumbnails to high-res versions of the photos? Would love to put some as my wallpaper!

    I don’t get the point though. Is the Hubble telescope in danger of not being repaired/moved in orbit? If so, is there a link to some group or organization that is trying to save it?

    I though NASA was using the last flight of the Atlantis to repair Hubble.

    Am I wrong?

    NASA is has set aside financing for repair of the Hubble for at least one more space-walk-repair endeavor, or until the conclusion of the Space Shuttle program, whichever comes first. After that, only the gods of Senatorial financing know for sure.
