And this is why the Hubble should burn in a great big ball of fire.....

Hubble doesn't have integrated boosters, so it would need to be put into the Shuttle, or some other vehicle, and boosted up.

I think that if NASA doesn't want it, they should sell it to the highest bidder. I bet someone would like a space telescope that is already up in orbit. Probably the Chicoms.

The problem really is that NASA isn't too hungry, and has gotten fat. Hungry agencies are not apt to let stuff they already have go to waste.

seems like after the president said moon and mars they were like all right we can let it burn up. I urge everyone who's interested in this to write your congressman and send Mr O'Keefe a letter on how you feel about throwing away hubble. I did.

Are we all going to cry when the first generation of GPS satellites dies?

 

[Dont Hurt Me]

No we wont but you may cry when they raise your taxes because they throw away equipment that has seen more things then your shallow mind.
