headline Hubble obtains deepest space view
excerpt Asked how Hubble is performing Dr Beckwith said: "Hubble is doing beautifully. It's working better than when it was new. We have not yet reached the limit of what it can do."

To be fair, they were planning on decomissioning Hubble after the next gyro servicing. But it was to replace it with better telescopes.

Course, that won't be happening now under Bush's mandate. A shame progress has to be stunted like this. Hubble is NASA's greatest achievement behind the moon landing and one of the greatest scientific instruments ever built.
