It could do something with moon telescope but I won't.

Cool idea but a long long way from hapening.

The main reason the mission to Hubble was canceled is not due to funding or President Bush's plan to go to the moon and Mars. Since the loss of Columbia, NASA's policy is to have one shuttle ready to fly as a rescue vehicle for a shuttle that is in orbit unless it is going to the ISS. Since going to Hubble would require having another shuttle ready and only a total of three in the fleet, other missions have been given priority over Hubble. Once the ISS is finished, we can retire the shuttle and move on to the future. Hopefully the ISS will fulfill its goal of being an orbiting research lab but somehow I doubt it will live up to its full potential.

Why not move the Hubble to the dark side of the moon?
