I don't understand why we can't push Hubble to a higher orbit to by time, or even push it waaayy up and leave it as an in space museum for future generations to retrieve if/when they wish...

Get over it America!!! The big fraud is going to play out as follows:
For Americans the cars of tomorrow are going to be bicycles. This is part of the government's grand economic, environmental, and healthcare plan for America. The plan is still highly classified but I did find out that it is named "Operation China Flip".
Operation China Flip got started in the early 1930's when the pathetic lilliputian working slaves in America were audacious enough to demand the right to make more than a survival existance wage, although the plan did not become offical government policy until the 1990s. This is what happened:
Because the evening news didn't report it most Americans had no idea how badly their demands had enraged the greedy pig f%^kers that own everything. I mean you have never seen an angrier bunch of greedy pig f%^kers that own everything than the cigar chomping bastards that had to make a few concessions in the late 1930s. But they remembered, and they stayed mad, and they vowed to get even...
Fortunately for the worthless lilliputians a big war broke out in the 1940s and the greedy pig f%^kers that own everything were able to exploit the snot out of the war rather than dumping America at that time. But shortly after the war the worthless lilliputians got uppitty again and they started whining about cars and t.v.s and the right to have enough time to bar-b-que on the weekends. And even worse; the worthless lilliputians wanted the right to medical care AND the right to time at the end of their lives to relax a bit before dropping dead.
This was absolutely unprecedented in history - I mean imagine a worthless lilliputian beast of burden demanding the right to medical care? AND retirement? No, no, no this could not be. So the greedy pig f%^kers that own everything started looking around for a new and more exploitable pool of wothless lilliputian beasts of burden.
By the early 1960s the greedy pig f%^kers that own everything saw Latin America and Vietnam as potentially exploitable options. Because it wasn't reported on the evening news most Americans had no idea that it was the greedy pig f%^kers that own everything that whacked Kennedy and kicked up the Vietnam war. Unfortunately for the greedy pig f%^kers that own everything Vietnam didn't work out as planned and so Latin America was chosen instead.
During the 1970s and 1980s the greedy pig f%^kers that own everything exported a bunch of factories down to Latin America and it worked; the worthless Latin American lilliputian beasts were dumber and more exploitable than the worthless American lilliputian beasts. But then a strange thing happened...
By a freak of luck somebody in China made an "exploitable improvement in exploitability" and just as the greedy pig f%^kers that own everything were about to uproot and move to Latin America, China became a viable option. Sooo, during the 1990s and the 2000s the greedy pig f%^kers that own everything have been piecemeal dismantling the American economy and moving it to China. Because this wasn't reported on the evening news most Americans didn't know that it was happening let alone take up arms to defend themselves.
And now we are here: the part of the con game where the other Neo-Con shoe drops. The greedy pig f%^kers that own everything are almost finished dismantling America and just now the completely worthless evening news is barely starting to report that a few jobs might go to China - but don't worry - overral times are great and you are free to work as many hours a week as you want to; Walmart needs you, uhhm, well maybe just part time...
You see, in order to save the environment and provide healthcare the greedy pig f%^kers that own everything are going to export the economy to China. The plan is a beautiful masterpiece of Neo-Con thinking:
Phase 1: Invade Iraq. On the surface of it the utter stupidity of invading Iraq is beyond measure; I mean really --> assaulted by a band of Saudi Wahabis
Don't be bitchin at the butt backward, mud hut shackin, spear throwin, "It's my turn to play the computer" Dilberting, Albonians...
It's entirely the fault of the evil U.S. Uhhm, well actually it's more the fault of Britain and the rest of Europe - but the U.S. is the 'now' evil empire so we get the blame...
Oh never mind - people are idiots and in just a few years Darwin will win and the ants will be next up at bat...

I was 12 when it first came out in 1977...
It isn't the same for me either but take heart; this viewing you do know how it's going to turn out...
I currently own the first 3 on rapidly degrading VCR tape.
I own the 4th on DVD and my niece has the 5th...
Even though I was 12 years old when it first came out, and even though I was the FIRST person in line on premier night, I'm waiting until the whole series is finished and then I will by the giant director's cut box.
I did the director's cut box with The Godfather and I was not at all sorry...
I downloaded the 911 report and my text-to-speech reader stumbles over the fact that incompetent Government bureacrats can't leave spaces in between sentences; result --> my reader links 2 and sometimes 3 sentences together - very ugly to listen to...
This kind of incompetent corporate & Israel sucking, afraid to deal with terrorism by confiscating oil land from Saudi Arabia and flipping the Islamic world the finger, let's do something stupid like invade Iraq and stick Americans with the bill, UBL who? we aren't going after him, let's make friends with Pakistan because they have the bomb aside from the fact that they ARE a major terrorist sponsor, thinking is why this country is going down!
Yahh that's right fool you vote Republican or Democrat - it don't matter. You WILL be short shrifted by a corporation when you're in your 50s and you will get F&%^#%^#. This is because YOU have FAILED to rise up and beat your local politicians and CEOs into the ground and take back the country. So quit bi&(^thn about E-Readers because your world is over! BTW - YES your job is going to be outsourced and YES the tax bills for the idiot move in Iraq will keep coming in even though your broke!
Uhhm... Sorry about that... 6 cups of high test and counting... I dunno what I just blabbered but it felt good so I'm posting it...

I JUST NOW got done recompiling all of my old WIN98 crap for UNICODE and.NET. And now I hear the alien alphabet has 6 quadra-trillion letters in it. Sonofabeast! How many bytes per character are in a 6 quadra-trillion char alphabet + all of UNICODE?
