Default the INCREDIBLE "coincidence" of the Hubble's computer malfunctionthat delayed the SM4 to 2009

..
this is the link to the Wired article about the new Earth-based
telescopes:
..
http://blog.wired.com/wiredscience/2...-late-197.html
..
and this is a wiki article about them:
..
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extremely_Large_Telescope
..
all them with a resolution very much higher than Hubble!
..
that's why from sept. 25 I've suggested to "STOP the Hubble Servicing
Mission 4 now!" since "It's TOO dangerous!" on the ghostNASA home
page:
..
http://www.ghostnasa.com/
..
but soon moved to an internal article
..
and that's why (between sept. 25 and sept. 29) I've sent dozens emails
to the Press, opened several threads on space and non-space forums and
posted several comments on space and non-space blogs and news sites
with a link to my blog and/or to this (very clear) image:
..
http://www.ghostnasa.com/hubbledeathtrap.jpg
..
then, in sept. 29 I was VERY HAPPY to read that this VERY DANGEROUS
repair mission has been delayed to feb. 2009 or later since the
Hubble's Control Unit/Science Data Formatter (that has a never used
backup system) ended to work EXACTLY four days after my ghostNASA
article (and my several posts, emails and comments everywhere) and
after 18 YEARS, 5 MONTHS and 4 DAYS of CONTINUOUS and PERFECT
work...!!!!!!!!!!!!
..
yes, you've read correctly, after 18 YEARS, 5 MONTHS and 4 DAYS of
CONTINUOUS and PERFECT work it ended work EXACTLY in the SAME week of
my "STOP the SM4" campaign!!!
..
ok, I did not want any medal for that...
..
but (I feel...) I was right (again...) then I stil/always suggest them
to STOP FOREVER the SM4 since it's TOO DANGEROUS and completely
USELESS!!!
..
