Oh, and my vote would be to keep Hubble going, but it isn't my bum on
the line, so I won't second guess NASA.

I think it is a shame that it may be allowed to die--but like you I have
pretty good confidence in the professionals' assessment.



Most of the jobs that used to be done by the Hubble are done by improved
Earth based telescopes today. Its mainly now used for spotting not the
major work.

Yes there would be some advantages to keep it going as it can see
spectrums that cannot penetrate the Earth's atmosphere but its
considered, not enough to justify the risk to the people on the shuttle
and its will outdated anyway soon.
