Hubble glitch renews talk about private servicing mission
spacenews.com
A problem with the Hubble Space Telescope has renewed discussion about whether and how NASA might approve a private mission to service it.

I cannot express just how much I want this to happen.

No attempt = hubble will fail and reenter

Attempt(failure) = same

Attempt(success) = hubble continues groundbreaking science and, after some time, can be brought back to earth via Starship to become a museum piece that inspires generations!!

    Jared Isaacman really wants to fund a Dragon trip to it to attach a reboost/attitude control module. I’m pretty down to let him go for it.

      I know this is the spacex community, but it’s worth avoiding the delusion that spacex often sells. Spacex just does not have the tools that Shuttle provided.

        The concept I saw involved putting the reboost module in Dragon’s trunk, docking with that, and EVAing over to plug in a handful of connections. That seems doable.
