How to Decommission Hubble Safely

Bringing Down the House: How to Decommission Hubble Safely:


"The answer may foretell when, and if, NASA can pull itself out of low Earth orbit and think bigger thoughts."

I am reading everywhere that NASA is seriously thinking of bringing down Hubble. They think Hubble is getting too old. So think outside the square!! Think big. THINK!! Everywhere I go Hubble is personified, that's how much Hubble has become a part of our planet earth lives. You'd think NASA would talk about this instead of making a big announcement. You'd think scientists and astronomers would discuss this. You'd think , given that Hubble is such a well respected piece of equipment, there'd be lengthy consideration of a lengthy list of options.There could even be collaboration bewtween nations to solve the problems. Nah! Bring it down!! Just scrap it and we'll think about something else. Well...think, people, because I don't want to be splattered by Hubble bits when Hubble could float around up there quite happily and productively. Hubble is extremely expensive equipment. Don't make me cry!
