The Hubble's Fate In Debate at NASA

Also, they are considering maybe putting it in higher orbit. If they are going to retire it, I say we need a replacement. It has really shown the beauty of space, and given scientists closer looks into the cosmos. We can't just let that "die", we need to continue studying!"

    Lets take 400nm (a nice blue, my favorite color) .0000004m or .0004mm i hope im doin this right... .0004mm goes into 1mm 10000 times. multiply that by 4 and you get 40000 1/4 wavelengths..... i think, heh. Correct me if my math is wrong.
