Saving HST

Shawn O'Keefe of NASA is great. I saw him interviewed on Daily Planet. He is
endorsing strongly
the Brantford, Ontario robotic manufacturers design for saving the HST. He
was in Toronto
doing the interview. Canada will come to the recue!

That is a bit of an overstatement. He is far from the best of NASA
Administrators and has inherited a very challenging hand. Time will
tell how well he plays it.

I saw him interviewed on Daily Planet.

Not by Clark Kent, I hope :-)

Well -- what other choice does he have?

Rescue will take a system solution, not just the Canadian robotic
element. Hopefully the money to do that will be committed and it will
happen. But the challenges in robotic servicing of a vehicle designed
for manned repair are non-trivial. I hope they are solved.

And a little more cynicism would be just what is needed.

No, hopeful realism would be a better characterizaton. I know those
working this problem, and they would agree.
