If...the biggest two letter word in the English language.
Given how little we actually spend on this sort of stuff, I'd be happy if we could save Hubble, rather than let it retired and reenter the atmosphere and burn. Perhaps a robotic mission to repair it in 2025 can be added to our big plans to go to Mars, etc.
- WalterBright 10y agoGiven that probably most of the cost of the Hubble is R+D, another one could be built and launched for only a fraction of the cost of the original. 3 or 4, even lesser.
