I still don't understand why NASA will be flying to the space station, but will not service Hubble which has done, and has the potential to do hundreds of times more science than the space station ever will. Besides, the ISS is currently serviceable as it is, with a bit more money even 3 people could be sent up and serviced with more soyuz aircraft.
but instead we have a prematurely scrapped Hubble, a disfunctional ISS that doesn't do anything anyway, and NASA with promises to fly to mars and build a "space plane" that is currently in pre-planning stage.
