"WASHINGTON ? The White House has eliminated funding for a mission to
service the Hubble Space Telescope from its 2006 budget request and
directed NASA to focus solely on de-orbiting the popular spacecraft at
the end of its life, according to government and industry sources."

Expect more such news in at leats both 2006 and 2007 bugets, even more so
if there is a second petty war in Middle East.
