    Da rules say:

    Its is the possessive form of the pronoun it and is correctly written without an apostrophe. It should not be confused with the contraction it's (for it is or it has), which should always have an apostrophe.

    instead of relying on grungy old men with ham radios, that emergency personel should have access to ham radios.

    Wouldn't getting from Hubble to ISS just be a controlled reduction in orbital speed to dropped the altitude?

    Also, a reduction in orbital altitude requires a speed increase, rather than a decrease.

    The Luftwaffe did in fact have several working pulse-jet powered fighter planes operating, as prototypes towards the end of the war (Heinkel 162B, for example) . The pilots found them 'interesting' but workable. Plans found after the war included multi-enined pulse-jet fighters which were somw of Hitler's 'superweapons' which would have changed the outcome of the war, if it hadn't been ended when it did.

    Google for German Pulse Jet Fighters...
