Hubble has been circling earth for about ten years now. Why not send hubble into deep space? I would think you could acquire more and better information with the closer views. The pictures you have obtained already are fantastic, and I would believe in deeper space they would be more informative. Thanks you!!!

do the astronauts feel like the are inside a fast
moving object while they are orbiting the earth at 18,000mph?

Suppose you were looking at something 10,000 light years away -- which, in the range of things HST looks at is at the nearby end of things. Then to get the HST there would take, at the speed of light, 10,000 years. It would take an additional 10,000 years to get the answer back. Also, we don't know how to move things around at the speed of light, so this is an optimistic estimate. We're just not that patient.

Hi,
Where do I go to get the lastest updates as to how the new equipment is working..
i.e.: The 400,000 rpm cooling turbine -- is it up & running?
Have you got all the test results back on the new power control panel?
