The Last Mission To Hubble

The Hubble Space Telescope was first launched on April 24, 1990. Since then there have been 4 servicing missions to Hubble. On May 11, 2009, the final mission to Hubble will be made. So far, Hubble has served us 19 years providing us with a deeper look into space. We have come to see so many new sights in space. New galaxies, new nebulas, new stars, etc. Although this is going to be a new benchmark in space history, it is sort of sad. After this mission, the Hubble is predicted to last until 2014. The sad part is not that, the sad part is that it will most likely be retired. I personally think thats kind of sad. If you would like to learn more about the Hubble, click here.

Well the last time I wrote about the shuttle I was wrong about the date. It was scheduled for Wednesday night but it was delayed for 24 hours due to a leak. Now they have delayed it further; to Sunday. Hope you get to watch! Click Here to watch the shuttle launch live around 7:00 EST.
