Hubble has been great, but at some point NASA with it's limited resources has to shut it down. With the money it would take to repair it, I wonder what we could do with improved ground scopes similar to VLT or Keck? Interferometry is really making ground based scopes powerful!!
Please!!
I don't agree with the article at all! You don't have to install bloatware!! Even with bloatware, our computer power has VASTLY INCREASED. I, for one, would not like to go back to older hardware/software for any reason. Like some of the other posters, I remember the old days of reconfiguring startup files and rebooting. FORGET that crap!! I cannot help but be impressed at the computational power at our fingertips. I just passed 10000 wu's of SETI yesterday!! WOOWEE!
