Thanks for the information! The fourth sentence, first paragraph was misleading. I couldn't imagine the H H Team holding back on Hubble production. I stand corrected and look forward to checking the archive out. To: Jon H. Thanks for the information! The fourth sentence, first paragraph was misleading.

No 'conspiracy' to withold this data from the public, so check it out. A fantastic treasure trove of all HST data gathered over its' lifetime. @Chuck Lam, HST raw images, spectra, etc are available to all interested parties at the Hubble Legacy Archive (hla.stsci.edu).JPEGs & FITS formats are available, even tutorials on how to best access data are available at this site.

With Iran and North Korea rapidly becoming nuclear powers, there is no way the United States will yield its space dominance. Unfortunately the scumbags will have both hands in the pork barrel. A small premium to pay for our freedom and scientific advances. To StarGeezer, Not to worry.

"the images started to pile up, and the astronomers working with the Hubble wanted to share them with the public." This begs a couple questions. Why were the images kept from the public in the first place? Was there a national security issue? Is the astronomical community a cloistered selfserving association? Whata disappoinment from a science agency! We could do better in this country and we're not. Let me get this straight . . .

Help me on this. If mirror is problem so it takes a bit longer to either make a new one or get Hubble from orbit, return, refurbish, make it more 'space/human/robot serviceable.'? Let the banks, financial institutions rot. Bailout, schmailout. Put $700+++ billion into shuttle extension/moon/mars. There'll be a lot more return from a revitalized space program (gov't/private) than by handing it to scum Wouldn't it be easier, cheaper and more logical to build a new Hubble on Earth , fit and test it with all the new stuff, then send it into an orbit that is higher than ISS, but reachable from ISS?
