 If you want to build a ship, don't drum up people to collect wood and don't
assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the
endless immensity of the sea.~ Antoine de Saint-Exupery - rjbarra [more] |

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?
