Crab Nebula by Hubble

I don't know how anyone can doubt the value of putting the Hubble telescope up there when it gives you desktop wallpaper like this :o)"

Hubble is amazing and all, and has produced some fabulous images (and maybe, just maybe some actual scientific data), but isn't it time to retire the 1 megapixel bird and replace it with a 5, or 16 megapixel, or perhaps a 4 gigapixel satellite instead?
