Hubble is a fantastic program that gets far too little credit IMO.
- Normal_gaussian 7y agoI'm not sure how much more credit it could get. It is extremely well known inside and outside of technical circles. Its images are often the face of astronomy as a whole - and credited as such.
- mobilefriendly 7y agoThere was a lot of criticism of the cost of the Hubble program in the beginning and then then mirrors failed after it was initally placed in orbit, turning Hubble into a national joke. NASA and Congress seriously considered abandoning Hubble then and a couple more times in the last two decades. https://spaceflightnow.com/2015/04/23/fixing-hubbles-blurry-vision/ https://spaceflightnow.com/2015/04/23/fixing-hubbles-blurry-...
