Hubble Telescope abandoned...
Yikes, did I just miss the news on this, or has there just not been much mention of it in the news? Abandoned is maybe the wrong word as scientists will continue to use it, but all servicing has been canceled, meaning that enough parts will probably wear out by 2007 for it to stop functioning. Seems a shame after all the effort to get it up there, and they'll have to spend millions on a rocket to take it down safely anyway...
