HUBBLE TROUBLE

This article makes an extremely persuasive case for letting the Hubble Space telescope "die a natural death," rather than spend the money to try to develop a crash robotic mission to save it. Instead, the author contends, for roughly the same investment, two new telescopes could be built and put into orbit that would be more capable. If these figures are right, it's hard to argue with him.
