I see where China is going to the moon.
Maybe they can put up a hubble-type telescope there?
Why haven't we done that yet?
To: KevinDavis
From the article :
Some argue that repairing Hubble is pointless, since ground-based observatories have overtaken its capabilities. But terrestrial telescopes fall short of HST's resolution by a factor of 10 or more So is it obsolete or not?

Some of the most enduring pictures of the early 90s were from Hubble. I say yes.

And that is reason enough.

I'd rather build and launch a new, updated version.
If it were possible, I'd bring the Hubble down and put it in the Smithsonian.
