    BBC 1/22/05:

    "Hubble rescue 'will be scrapped'"

    (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/4197505.stm>)

    "The future of the Hubble Space Telescope is in doubt after the White House
    refused money for a rescue plan, US media has reported.

    US space agency Nasa will announce the decision in February, ending plans to
    send a human or a robot repairman, the Washington Post reported.

    The service cost was expected to top $1bn, but has been cut from the federal
    budget request, sources told the paper."

    Hmmm ... isn't that about what the US spends a day in Iraq?

    Disgusted ... but not surprised.
