Now that sounds more like a "Oh that would be cool" type wishlist than actually useful mission. There are probably dozens of more suitable pieces of "space memorabilia" that could be used for such tests. And if there isn't you can easily put there a realistic mock-up of whatever you want to rescue. Look at Musk's flying Tesla for example. There's nothing that makes Snoopy uniquely qualified for it. But there's only one Hubble. The single greatest tool for space exploration we ever had at our disposal. And one that had already cost $5bn by the time it needed the fix. The 2 cases don't feel to similar at all, short of them being both in space.
