Hubble RIP.

Seems that they are going to fix the thing, read more here.

Seems like a waste of money to me, surely they can build a considerably better one now?

!Do the Hubble-rip! :banana:

To the music of that terrible 1980's "Shake 'n Vac" advert?

:-)

I was thinking more the 'Do the Bartman' music.

But now I've got the Shake n' Vac jingle stuck in my head....gaaaah! :lol:

Sounds illegal anyway..

An illegal rave with loads of dancing :banana:, how tripped out would that be?

Bring the whole thing down and build an even bigger one

This sounds like a job for the EU!

But seriously, looking at white dots does little for me. I'd say the money would be better spent sending man to Mars within our lifetime.

Well, why not? It's unfair to let the US taxpayer bear the burden of all of space exploration. Let the EU and the ESA pay for half, or get China and Russia in on the deal as well. The acumen would be new materials and devices invented while exploiting space.
