Nasa to save Hubble telescope

NASA has finally seen sense:

The US space agency has given the go-ahead for a robotic mission to repair the Hubble Space Telescope, Nasa officials have announced. Nasa chief Sean O'Keefe has asked for a firm mission proposal to be worked up in a year, after which a decision whether to proceed will be made.

"Everybody says: 'We want to save the Hubble'. Well, let's go save the Hubble," Mr O'Keefe said.

Hopefully we shall see another few years of Hubble images.
