Sneaking it in, again, I see!

I used to hang around with a bunch of astronomy geeks half of which were from the Johnson Space Center...In fact, I have one of the rare (and to me desirable) Johnson Space Center Astronomy Society ball caps.

One of the guys in the club was a major person involved in the first Hubble repair mission (not an astronaut, one of the administrators for the project)...

Until we have another telescope like the Hubble with its resolution up there, we need it. IMHO, although it might just be nostagia...

Speaking of Hubble Repairs, I have a photograph of Story Musgrave in a frame. I have it framed because he delivered a lecture at my university and I was able to get him to sign it. His lecture included a discussion of the Hubble Repair Mission.
