NASA Announces De-Orbit Mission For Hubble

Posted by timothy on from the we-have-always-been-at-war-with-luna dept.

maglor_83 writes "NASA has announced the end for Hubble. It plans on performing a "robotic de-orbit mission", and apparently its not due to the monetary costs associated with fixing it, but rather the risks involved. NASA's new goals are now manned missions to the moon, as a platform for Mars."
