Hubble's time has come and gone. It was revolutionary in it's time but now will be superceded by other space telescopes that do much more.

Wrong. Name just one. Hell, if it makes the Hubble-lovers feel better, call one of the new ones Hubble II or Son of Hubble.

I dont care if Hubble is renamed "Barbie" just so long as we don't lose the science.

Then ask them to shut up and help us get to Mars.

The Moon is a far more realistic goal. Much closer and we can do real science there. Let the robots survey Mars.

The Moon is a goal??? Errr, we went there 30 years ago. Some itsy bitsy, uninspiring goals you've got there.

You want me to name the newer, better space telescopes. OK.
Compton Gamma Ray Observatory, Chandra X-Ray Observatory, and the Spitzer Space Telescope. That should be enough for the star watchers to play with. On to Mars!!!!!!
