NASA Approves Mission and Names Crew for Return to Hubble

Oct. 31, 2006
RELEASE: 06-343

Shuttle astronauts will make one final house call to NASA's Hubble
Space Telescope as part of a mission to extend and improve the
observatory's capabilities through 2013.


After the ISS is finished. After he's out of office.

What are you ignorantly whining about now?

Promises that don't have to be kept are easy to make.
This is as hollow as a campaign promise made in
the eleventh hour from a desperate politician.

What promise are you talking about?

Funny it should come a week before the election.

....Funny about that.

What kind of political nutcase would think that anyone significant in
the electorate cares about Hubble?

The legions that complained when O'Keefe claimed we couldn't afford to
fix Hubble and finish ISS. Griffin found a way to do both.

Also, it is pretty clear that, among other things, you are clueless
about Baltimore/Washington Parkway politics.
