How Many Hubble Spacewalkers Still Active Astronauts?

There must be Hubble Spacewalkers that are Still Active Astronauts.

It would make training easier -- and delay the final drop-dead

date for a decision on a shuttle servicing mission -- if veteran

spacewalkers were assigned. Thoughts on this please?

My thoughts are that you're late. The decision on the shuttle servicing
mission has already been made, the crew has already been named, and
includes three HST veterans, two of them spacewalkers.

Have you been asleep for a few months?

Its all cut and dried and I think some veterans are indeed on the mission.

I think its only really possible as they are more comfortable now about the
tanks and the repair materials and procedures than they might have hoped
for.

I'm quite interested in the fixture they are proposing to fit to help with a
de orbit. One assumes then, if this fixture has been designed, so has the
craft which will mate with it. So it looks like they intend to dump it into
the Pacific or something, rather than attempt to return it in a Shuttle.

Look out below!
