"i believe so firmly that the hubble telescope should be saved that i would be willing to train and fly there myself to do the necessary work. not that i really have any kind of training that would be needed. maybe a menopausal, slightly kooky 51-year-old woman would be the ideal candidate for such a mission!"

Save the Hubble Angry Remark of the Day:

"Have tried to register my vote but I notice that the form design excludes people outside the USA! So Hubble isn't of international benefit then? Surely the more global your protest, the more likely you are to save Hubble? Perhaps this is another case of where interest outside the USA is considered unimportant or ineffective?"Yours disgusted, Francis J Pullen, UK (Take it easy Francis! We're working on that! S.t.H.)

 

Save the Hubble Best Political Challenge of the Day:
(this IS a democratic site!)

"Mr. O'Keefe is in a tough position as NASA admininstrator. Like it or, NASA does have to answer to politicians. Perhaps your website could consider including Mr. O'Keefes rationale for reaching this decision. A transcript of the meeting where he explained his reasoning can be found here. http://www.stsci.edu/ The Shuttle will not fly unless the safety requirements recommended by the Columbia Accident Review Board are met in their entirety. I feel that you are not telling the full story by not including these things on your site. Perhaps the Brazilian Government would consider funding the extra costs to meet these requirements, and perhaps send a Brazilian crew to accomplish the job as well. It's easy to second guess when your money and countrymen's lives are not on the line. Thanks."Richard Nelson. (Brazil's NGP is about 8% that of US but I guess we could spare some.Nasa has one Brazilian astronaut who, I bet, would go up any time - as would any American astronaut. Last year 21 Brazilian technicians died in an explosion while working on our rocket. The program is still on. S.t.H.)

 

Save the Hubble Philosophical Quote of the Day:

"We live in difficult times (politically, socially, economically). The big brother is watching us now more than ever. Following that concept I think that we should keep an eye to our broader neighborhood. If Democritos, Archimedes, Pythagoras, Da Vinchi, Galilaio, Copernico and many other visionary personalities through history gave up their visions, humanity would not be the same. Cut a little bit the war budgets and SAVE OUR SPACE EYES."Nikos Paraskevas ATHENS, GREECE (Wish I were in Greece! S.t.H.)
