Well, if Web tells what he knows about the Clintons, he'll be dead before the week is out...

Oh, this is about the telescope.

Hubble is almost already passe. I saw a bit about an observatory in, I think, New Mexico that has a large setup with something called "adaptive optics". They shoot a laser in the sky, measure the distortion, and adjust the mirrors on the main scope. The pictures they showed of Saturn were many orders of magnitude better than normal ground based systems.

700 million! That is less than it would cost to build and launch a newer equivalent.

I wonder if NASA has tried to get any private investors to buy Hubble? It seems like the kind of toy Bill Gates might like to have.
