But if he's for science and information, then why did he agree to killing
off the Hubble project? It still has tons of science and research it will
be capable of, and is still perfectly useful from what I've read.

FYI. The Hubble is being phased out for two reasons. One is that there's
a "next generation" space telescope presently in development. The second
is directly related to the scaling back of shuttle flights (until a next
generation shuttle can be built). Hubble's fine right now, and will
continue to send back usefull science data, but needs periodic maintenance
to keep it working. Canceling the shuttle servicing missions effectively
phases out the Hubble.
