Robotic Hubble mission would cost $2 billion
http://www.space.com/news/hubble_mission_040810.html
The robotic mission to save Hubble would cost up to $2 billion, several times what a human-run Shuttle mission would cost. I predicted this and I'm wondering if it wouldn't be more prudent to make an exception for Hubble and ignore the safety rules. OTOH the success of a robotic mission would be a quantum leap for teleoperated serviciing in space.
