Default To Good To Be True....Let's save the Hubble

The Hubble has served it's purpose and has had a good life.

The future of telescopes is ground-based interferometry and adaptive
optics. Such observations have already exceeded the capability of the
Hubble in some instances and are much less expensive to deploy and
maintain.

How many state-of-the-art ground observatories can be built for the
cost of one Hubble servicing mission?
