Glad to hear that.

Life is only given once ... and most often by accident

Excellent. It's a welcome change from the plans they originally had to destroy it .

I thought they were just going to leave it floating about until its 'decaying orbit' destroyed it. Regardless, tis good news indeed!

decaying orbit? well since hubble is orbitting pretty dam high up, it'll take centuries for it to degrade enough to burn up in the atmosphere.

Four years, actually. They won't be able to go service it until 2007 I believe, due to the safety problems with the shuttle. Of more immediate concern is the food shortage on the ISS, which could result in abandoning the station if the scheduled Christmas supply mission fails. Its becoming a problem especially since the Russian spacecrafts can't carry as much (though they do somehow appear to be more reliable...), and food space must be sacrificed for experiments (quoting from AP in local newspaper)

Bah! *Waves hand dismissively* Destroyed by people, destroyed by the planet, it's all good .

The money spent on the Hubble Space Telescope is about the best use of our tax dollars I have ever seen. I really enjoy that wallpaper. Plus they proved that Black Holes exist. What next? I can't wait to see.

Is that a political statement?
