Whether it's due to funding, Bush's new moonshot, or keeping the orbiter in the same orbit with the ISS, the death of the Hubble Space Telescope is a sad thing.
The Hubble has revolutionized astronomy. Using images from the craft, scientists have determined the age of the universe, about 13.7 billion years, and discovered that a mysterious energy, called the dark force, is causing all of the objects in the universe to move apart at an accelerating rate. This force is still poorly understood.
Oh well. You win some, you lose some. Maybe the James Webb Space Telescope will be even better.
