A Mission to Repair Hubble
For many years now, Hubble, a space telescope, has been taking amazing photos of space. But lately, it has been showing signs of age. NASA recently announced that it will send a space shuttle on a repair mission to Hubble in 2008. It will be the fifth time NASA has sent a repair crew to Hubble. This mission will cost about $900 million and will involve five space walks. If the repair mission is successful, Hubble should be set to keep taking pictures until 2013. 
In some ways, I disagree with the NASA decision to go fix Hubble. If the government is spending so much of our money on space travel, why can’t we spend that much money on people who need it. On the other hand, space travel is very interesting and it has taught us a lot about the solar system.
