Save the Hubble (Seriously)

Pretty cool, huh?

I will be very disappointed if NASA botches the repair effort and allows the Hubble telescope to plunge into Earth's atmosphere. Not just because billions of dollars of equipment would be instantly turned into charred titanium molecules, but because the Hubble is the coolest thing we've ever put into Earth's orbit (at least the coolest thing that doesn't transmit Latvian soccer games into our living rooms). Unlike science experiments involving zero-gravity rats, the telescope gives you science you can use: badass pictures of outer space. So, for what it's worth: Nasa, Save the Hubble.
