I never fail to be amazed by stuff like this.

With cannon shot and gun blast smash the alien. With laser beam and searing plasma scatter the alien to the stars.

I'm going to miss Hubble, even if it is a waste of taxpayer dollars. sad

Except for 4/1/2011. That day lingers in my memory like...metaphor here...I should go.

I say we push it higher up into a long-term parking orbit as a floating memorial. Seems a pity for it to come down in a blaze of glory.

Go ahead and push it to a higher orbit. Don't see why not.

Fight smart, not fair.

Is it Far, Far Away?

Yeah, that was pretty lame.

We should save it in orbit and attach boosters to it so that when the aliens come, we can fire it at them. A fitting end.

I vote on the last shuttle mission we grab the Hubble and bring it back to Earth. It's like what you do with an old battleship destined to be a museum, you preserve it so that others may know what it was like before.

[up] And then, when the inevitable alien invasion comes, we can scrap the Hubble and use its materials in the creation of an actual space battleship with which to do battle agains the foul xenos.

Interesting tidbit, that actually almost makes sense, since steel made after 1945 is very slightly radioactive due to the large amounts of oxygen used in the process, so it doesn't work for some sensitive space instruments.

We could attach it to the ISS. Better then letting it go to waste.

Turn the telescope into a big ass laser, then attach it to the ISS.

You got it wrong, use the giant telescope to channel the Sun's rays and use it to wipe out entire armies.

If MW 2 is anything to by, we could use the debris from the ISS to defend DC from Soviet attack.

Well he's talking about WWII when the Chinese bomb pearl harbor and they commuted suicide by running their planes into the ship.
