I think the Hubble Space Telescope should have been named The Issac Newton Telescope to give recognition to that great man.

Well the reasons are obvious ...the man was a genius above any other before or after.

The Hubble scope is after all a Newtonian telescope and although we here know who invented that scope many would not I expect.

How would NASA placed the Hubble in space without Newtons laws on gravity.
How would NASA do any thing in space without Newtons Gravity?
And does not General Relativity use Newtons Gravity.
And on a side note it ticks me off when folk talking about GR say Newton was wrong and I have even seen a video where Newton is portrayed as a fool.

His math, invented calculus I think, the gold standard his work on optics and I bet there is much more.
NASA should do something name something to pit that great genius on a pedestal...
