Dumb does not begin to describe this one...

Until the replacement is up and running, kleep the Hubble going. If they have to, re-rig Enterprise to go up to fix Hubble. But this is just mind-boggling.

The only 'dumb' thing they did was not get a space plane replacement ready. The shuttle's just too creaky for missions at this point. I hate to see Hubble go too, but we need a new one and a new delivery/maintenence system first.

Re-rig Enterprise?........Now thats mind boggling.

Best thing for hubble, push it to a high parking orbit, with a unmanned manned rocket pack, then service it with a C.E.V> test flight. Save some old technology as we develope some new technology.
