NASA turns a blind eye to its space eye, the Hubble

USATODAY.com – Scientists decide to abandon the aging Hubble Space Telescope project
Sucks. I think we could learn more by launching three more Hubbles than a few visits to the Moon and Mars. I’ve complained before (re: the Concorde amongst other things) about how it’s not having the best technology, it’s doing something newer and flashier. It’s sad to see that level of interest being put into the Hubble.
But, I also understand with everything else going on in the world, NASA spending should be kept in check. We have too many problems on Earth to worry about taking them to other planets — although it would be nice to look at other planets.
/me is disappointed.
About
double that.

It’s like that line from Matrix Reloaded, where the miltary guy says he can’t spare one ship to look for the Neb-uh-ka-nezzer, and the counsil says “Then send two.” Replace it with two or three new telescopes.
