    Every moment in space is awesome.

    Awesome.

    Up, up the long, delirious burning blue
    I've topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace
    Where never lark, or ever eagle flew —
    And, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod
    The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
    Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

    They are 350 miles above the Earth. Compare that to the ISS, it is only 220 miles above the Earth according to Wikipedia.

    I'm so glad they decided to do this instead of calling it off. Hubble has been one of the coolest things we've ever done in space. It ranks right up there with the Mars Rovers in my book.

    I can't see the videos but I've kept up with the newfeeds on this. I'm glad they are doing this as well. NASA is looking at having their budget slashed, so get it done before that money goes to any of a hundred other wasted government projects.

    I still can't believe they are scraping the shuttles and are in a rush to get the ISS done.

    Nice pic ... and so big 😀

    Yeah - Hubble rocks. It can bring us stars much closer than they really are.
