Hooray for the Hubble

The latest space shuttle mission has proved fascinating as the astronauts continue to work on the Hubble telescope. I'm sure many people would argue that the money the United States puts into the space program could be better spent, but the discoveries (and pictures) that the Hubble has helped make has been an incredible benefit to science and mankind. I'm already amazed by what Rob knows about space, and what is different from when I grew up (i.e., Pluto is now a dwarf planet). I can't wait to see what we learn in the next decade. I'm sure it will be fascinating.
