Astronomy Our Shopping Cart area is being rebuilt with updated programming. We congratulate NASA on its decision to refurbish the Hubble telescope. One wonders why it is that NASA can't use some tugbot (robot tugboat) to pull the thing into an orbiting junkyard near the space station rather than figuring out how to drop this 24,000 pounds of equipment onto Earth without hitting someone with the pieces. An overall plan to consolidate space junk into one orbiting area would make it easier to keep track of the trash and would keep it available for future construction projects.
