Sen. Mikulski asks NASA to review Hubble decision
Topic: Miscellaneous 3:20 am EST, Jan 25, 2004

] BALTIMORE %u2014 Sen. Barbara Mikulski is asking NASA to
] review the decision to not service the Hubble space
] telescope, guaranteeing an early death for the orbiting
] science platform that has revolutionized astronomy.
]
] Mikulski (D-Md.), the ranking minority member of the
] Senate Appropriations subcommittee that oversees NASA's
] budget, told NASA Administrator Sean O'Keefe in the
] letter sent Wednesday that she was shocked by the
] decision given the Hubble's extraordinary contributions
] to science.
]
] "I ask you to reconsider your decision and appoint an
] independent panel of outside experts to fully review and
] assess all of the issues surrounding another Hubble
] servicing mission," Mikulski wrote.
]
] Calling Hubble the most successful NASA program since the
] Apollo program that put man on the moon, Mikulski also
] asked that all planning, preparation and astronaut
] training activities continue until Congress has reviewed
] the issue.

ALL HAIL Mikulski! That "bird" Hubble has a LOT more science left in her. Maybe another 20 years worth with regular service missions. KEEP THE DREAM ALIVE!
