No decision on mission to Hubble
Quote:

Although the space shuttle Discovery's mission concluded with a safe landing yesterday, NASA Administrator Michael Griffin said he will need until fall to decide whether to authorize another shuttle servicing mission to extend the life of the Hubble Space Telescope. "No one wants to do a Hubble flight more than I," Griffin said yesterday when reminded of his promise last year to authorize a Hubble mission if NASA could complete two safe shuttle flights in the wake of the fatal 2003 Columbia accident.
