NASA's not timid, they just have better things to do with the resourses available to them.

The Moon it is and we're going back.

Clinton killed Clementine II with his line-item veto because it was tied to the Defense Department.

A lot of Mars scientists didn't like the Clem I ice discovery on the Moon. Hell, it made it more interesting and useful. In other words, it got in their way.

When all is said and done, it'd cost at least a billion dollars to service the Hubble, which does make it a resource issue. Now, as to whether NASA would spend it on something more useful....
