You're under costing it. A Crew Dragon mission is ~$287 million. That number is probably high because government orgs tend to have additional costs associated with launching for them above and beyond a typical commercial mission. But certainly much higher than $67 million.

But honestly, it needs a crewed mission. There's not much point to raising Hubble's orbit without replacing the reaction control wheels. And that'd basically require an EVA.
