The shuttle 'Atlantis' is soon launching to a dangerous mission.
The mission? Repair Hubble.
The ones who have been reading my ramblings might remember that I feel very deeply for Hubble. I love the pictures it has taken, I love the idea that it has brought so much information from the surroundings of this planet, so I love Hubble. I was devastated after the first reports of its possible shutdown. I'm glad they decided to repair it instead of just abandon it or whats worse: burn it.
I hope the mission is a success and that everyone will return home safe.
So, thanks NASA!
Oh, and yesterday was Hubbles' 19th Birthday!
Oh, and as a sidenote: I heard Stephen Hawking has been hospitalized. Hope he still has the strength to keep living and fighting ALS.
