"This was the logical conclusion about the Telescope future, given the technology involved and financial constraints we carry," said Sean O'Keefe, NASA administrator, who believes that it is too dangerous to service the Hubble in light of the Columbia disaster. The shutting down of the Hubble means a premature ending to the observatory who recently broadcast the deepest ever peak at the universe, images of galaxies dating back to the time of creation. |
