Yeah, and that's the disgusting part. We had a thread on this months ago. We brought up things like the Hubble (Who had servicing mission 4 cancelled because of it). The mission would have added a Wide Field Camera that is 3 times more powerful than the infared that it alread had and a Cosmic Origins Spectrograph for high resolution sudying of distant interstellar gasses. Plus other essential things like new gyroscopes, batteries and boosting the scope into farther orbit to prevent decay.
