America can't dream while its in middle of a war and going deep into debt every month. America can't be america while Bush is president..Hubble telescope is going because Bush doesn't want to give NASA the money to put a new battery in. Thats right..a new battery..thats all it needs. NASA even has one ready. They just have to get the money to put a spacecraft into orbit so an astronaut can spacewalk out to it and swap the batteries. Many have volunteered to do it also. Lets not forget that the religious right doesn't like the hubble telescope..its proven so much from the bible untrue..not that they will ever admit it aloud. Is it any wonder that are country is slipping down that slippery slope towards becoming a 2nd world nation? I just hope it can pull out in time.
