Dennis C asked:
I was watching a documentary the other day and it said that the Hubble Space Telescope is in danger of falling apart and just drifting off into space (or crashing on Earth) because it has long past its due date. But besides the obvious “there’s not enough money” what’s preventing NASA from just retrieving the telescope and repairing it on Earth and sending it back up?
