NASA Gives OK to Fix Hubble Telescope

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the bazillion-mile-oil-change dept.

Erick writes "NASA has decided to rescue the Hubble. This will come as great news to all of those who have advocated for fixing the ailing 'scopes sensors, gyros, etc. The article states that nine to 12 months of planning will precede a mission to the Hubble Telescope."

  1. Wolves and Indians and razors, oh my by 0x0d0a · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    If your god is an indian who turns into a wolf and is coming for me with a razor, how it s/he planning to use it? Wouldn't they lack the opposible thumb to properly utilize the razor?

    I think that the statement that he could turn into a wolf was more of an aside than a claim that he'd actually do so before whipping out his razor. Like, I can write software and out-arm-wrestle a lot of people, but it'd be really inconvenient to do both at once.

    A good analogy might be a Special Forces guy who can shoot someone at 500 meters and kill someone with his bare hands, but not at the same time.
