Personally, i do not care how much Hubble costs to maintain. With images such as these, the benefit to science far outweighs the cost of keeping her going.

This amazing telescope might be old, outdated and almost at the end of her life, but the science world will be stupid to let such a tool end just because of money.

Replace Hubble with the two space telescopes the NSA recently gave NASA. Why have one when you can have two at triple the cost.

Go ahead, mark me down. Soothe your mental discomfort, and reinforce your intellectual ego. It will save you from re-examining your faulty worldview. Egomaniacs abound. Some take refuge in science.
