Maybe they could build future space telescopes with a design more accommodating to robotic servicing. Of course the James Webb space telescope will be in a Lagrange point over 240,000 miles away, better hope it doesn't develop glitches because there's no currently manned spacecraft that could reach it.

Wasn't that the location of the "Chicken Ranch"? People had no problem getting to it. Just need to contact Marvin Zindler.

It also cannot do what Hubble does.
