The future of the Hubble Space Telescope is in doubt after the White House refused money for a rescue plan, US media has reported

Shame for all the work its done, they wont pay out to either fix it or bring it back to Earth to keep as a memory of a amazing techincal acheivement.

Undisclosed even on a forum about space and stuff, they are keeping quiet...

I hope not, I am rather upset they wont bring hubble1 back to Earth and keep it...its a waste of a historic piece of equipment, and we shall regret it once its space junk.
