I enjoyed reading the Hubble repair article by Greg in the latest AS&T.

Sounds like a very risky mission, but the rewards are well worth it!

It's good to see them finally repairing the Hubble, but what I want to know is what happens when it's finally time to pension it off. I think they should try and bring it down to put into the Smithsonian.

As everyone is probably aware, the Hubble repair mission has been delayed till February. Here's a little snippet on that from Nature:
