Speaking of NASA,the movie HIDDEN FIGURES was about 3 black female math wizards,their job title was computers....THEY WERE NASA’S COMPUTERS.....If math is racist,how did they get so smart AT MATH......

Did they recently update their Windows?

That would hog too much memory...

One of my fondest memories from my days working for MITRE at the Naval Space Command was having a copy of the Hubble ground control system with a complete 3-D map of the satellite on my Micro-VAX “PC”. A magnificent feat of engineering.

Should have used Apple Mac instead of Windows 10.

Don’t know how much money was spent on Hubble, but it sure was worth it.

It's too bad they can't haul it down to the ISS an park it nearby until they can fabricate modern parts for it.

It'd be a shame to lose the optics on it.

Space is a very harsh environment.

The gamma rays and neutrons from the Sun and cosmic rays from background space radiation play hell on semiconductors.

I believe Hubble is functioning long after its expected/predicted end-of-life.

Not to worry, the new Chinese space station will have a separate telescope component with a wider field of view then the old Hubble - the Hubble will become obsolescent and not worth fixing, since telescope time can be bought cheaper than launching another optical scope.

China and the CCP leading the way in space!

America under Democrat control leading the way in social justice and gender equality!

Everyone else rolling in the isles.

It is WAY past time to get Webb up and into space, and, retire Hubble. If someone wants to go up and salvage it....great! Otherwise, put it into a reentry orbit and let it die an honorable death.

Did they try turning it off, then turning it back on again?
