"Hubble rescue 'will be scrapped'" (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/4197505.stm) "The future of the Hubble Space Telescope is in doubt after the White House refused money for a rescue plan, US media has reported. US space agency Nasa will announce the decision in February, ending plans to send a human or a robot repairman, the Washington Post reported. The service cost was expected to top $1bn, but has been cut from the federal budget request, sources told the paper." Hmmm ... isn't that about what the US spends a day in Iraq? Disgusted ... but not surprised. |
