The first casualty of Mr Bush's moon-mars dream has become apparent. NASA canceled all remaining service missions to Hubble and will let it splash down by 2010. All in order to focus on the space station.
Explain this to me. We're about to take the most succesful mission (in terms of knowledge learned) since the last moon mission and give it up? As the artical mentions, Hubble has discovered so much it's forced the rewritting of textbooks to keep up with what it showed us.
This just to go back to the moon? Hubble provided 1000 times the data daily that all the moon missions combined taught us.
But wait, we have to go back to the moon, quick before the chinese do it next Dec!
