I agree. Hubble was 1980s technology, launched in 1990 because of the Challenger disaster. It has done a stupendous job, even given all the setbacks during its mission.

At some point, you just trade the sucker in for a new vehicle.

The problem is that were not ready to trade it in with anything. We should send up a shuttle to fix it but we are to scared to do so. If we let Hubble go we wont have anything ready to put into its place for many years.
