Space Tug to Save the Hubble?

Aglassis writes "In an article at SpaceRef, the CTO of Orbital Recovery Corporation claims that his company will be able to develop a space tug that could save the Hubble Space Telescope (from becoming 'a ballisticly implanted reef in the Pacific') by either moving it into a much higher stable orbit, or by moving it to the ISS where it could be maintained and operated. Some of the reasons that he cites are that the Hubble's replacement, the James Webb Space Telescope, could be delayed or suffer some sort of failure. Since the JWST will be at the L2 point, servicing will be impossible."

There is no Slashdot community, just a bunch of ooooooh-and-aaaaaaahh-ers who think they are intellectually above the rest of the world.

They actually might photocopy some protestation tract once per year in their company if they hear Star Treck is in danger but no one of these motherfucking nerds actually ever cared about what is right :
What is right, what will make their real life karma better is to protect Free Speech, regardless how disgustingly it is (ab)used.

What is right is to stand for equity and Freedom, not for self-proclaimed "geeky" shit.

Michael and Taco are indeed censors, the most dangerous of these : those who think they are not censors but instead act for the wellfare of humanity by politically-correctly protecting their own "still well-being" so that they can buy DRM'ed shit whenever they feel like consuming.
