The end of the american space program.
Today, NASA Administrator O'Keefe announced that
the american space telescope will not be serviced by the shuttle anymore, and we start hearing about the "fiery reentry". An automatic engine will precipitate this instrument to the surface of the earth. No need for scopes. We are going to the moon. Science is not needed for that, nor the scientists, that cost a lot of money. The shuttle fleet grounded, americans aren't able to service the space telescope, a few hundreds of kilometers higher up. And Mr Bush talks about servicing a supply line of 300.000 Km? A class-mate of Mr Bush (Molly Ivins) writes: (I quote from "The mother Jones") "...in what is becoming a recurring, almost nightmare-type scenario, the minute he visits some constructive program and praises it (AmeriCorps, the Boys and Girls Club, job training), he turns around and cuts the budget for it. It's the kiss of death if the president comes to praise your program. During the presidential debate in Boston in 2000, Bush said, "First and foremost, we've got to make sure we fully fund the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program, which is a way to help low-income folks, particularly here in the East, pay their high fuel bills." He then sliced $300 million out of that sucker, even as people were dying of hypothermia, or, to put it bluntly, freezing to death. Sometimes he even cuts your program before he comes to praise it. In August 2002, Bush held a photo op with the Quecreek coal miners, the nine men whose rescue had thrilled the country. By then he had already cut the coal-safety budget at the Mine Safety and Health Administration, which engineered the rescue, by 6 percent, and had named a coal-industry executive to run the agency". End quote. Announcing that the space telescope will be destroyed would have provoked an outcry if not enveloped in a good mixture of "good space news": we are going to the moon, of course. |

Fact is: The servicing mission was planned for next year. The useful life of the HST can be extended to 2010 without any problems. It is a fact too that I am french. Obviously I am in the bad side of your manichean world. |

There is a new scope scheduled for launch in 2007 or 2008 that is a vast improvement over Hubble.
