Re: The Hubble is getting upgraded!

Pre-docking photo: http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap090516.html I have to admit that's a good camera shot.

I heard from someone that they already had trouble with one bolt. The tool had a torque limit so as to not break the bolt, but the bolt was stuck fast. Finally, after a long struggle, and much against the ground crew advice, the astronaut upped the torque and got the bolt off.

Schnabel: I'm rather hoping that space travel becomes more common in the future, and that a group of students goes up to take over that rickity ol' telescope their grandparents sent up. Isn't that how it always was?
