The Hubble Space Telescope's last legs
We're writing an editorial that will run on Tuesday about the recent repairs made to the Hubble Space Telescope. Hubble is "arguably the most important scientific instrument ever created," as astronomer John Grunsfeld put it. For two decades, it has delivered beauty, knowledge and insight to the world. We're glad to see it operational again, but it's clearly dying and will be gone in a few more years. We'll urge Congress to continue funding Hubble and its successors. It's money well spent.
