I just wanted to know what everyone thought of this

I personally am sad to see it go, but I hope its loss will make room for bigger and better things such as the missions to the moon and mars.

I hope you realize that article is from January 2005.

Funding for the servicing mission was restored to the 2006 budget, and planning is underway.

I did not realize that, thanks for letting me know.

Nasa is sending a much larger telescope into orbit around the sun - I think its orbit will be between mars and Jupiter, and the sensitivity of this new 'telescope array' will make Hubbel look like something left over from the 20th century.
