Im for maintaining it as well!! The Hubble has taken some of the greatest pictures of all time, and they want to just pull the plug for safety reasons...... thats bull$hit!!! Every one of those people aboard the missions knows that they have a chance at a 1 way ticket, hell your going into space for cryin out loud. So O'Keefe is gonna let everything fall apart to save his own rep. What a selfish fool.
I would go up there in a heartbeat!!! Maybe I wouldn't come back!!
Maybe I would float off into space!! Its all worth the risk. IMO
