NASA & The Hubble Space Telescope

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2004/06/02/robotic_fix/

I searched for this on Chief, but was surprised to find nothing. Here is a very interesting article regarding the Hubble Telescope and retrieving it and whatnot. And it has robots! Who'll be the first FIRST team to volunteer?

NASA's Robonaut is one of the robots being considered for the task. Many of Robonaut's engineers work with team 118, the Robonauts. I'm not sure where they got the name.

NASA OKs Robot Mission to the Hubble Space Telescope

Wouldn't that make an interesting "game"? Imagine all the "what if" scenarios those engineers are going to have to cover!

I wonder what the odds are of this actually being successful. I read a few articles that said it would be awfully hard to repair the telescope only using robots. The astronauts on previous missions had a hard time trying to fix problems that suddenly appeared during repairs.
