"The shuttle Discovery will pay the Hubble Space Telescope a final servicing call in 2008, NASA Administrator Michael Griffin announced Tuesday.The new plan reverses a decision made by former NASA Administrator Sean O'Keefe in the wake of the Columbia disaster that such a mission would be too risky to attempt."
This is great news for cosmologists and basic science. Griffin has shown that he is committed to accomplishing NASA's primary objectives of research and exploration with this move, IMO.
I just can't wait to see what we have going up next, the James Webb Space Telescope!
