You think the Hubble is not in trouble without Shuttle? what planet are you on?

Anecdotal evidence seems to suggest most Americans value the space program. Take the example that Tyson uses in his article: the Hubble Space Telescope. Hubble has provided an unprecedented glimpse into our universe and even managed to save lives along the way (see Tyson's article for details). As Tyson points out, when Hubble's fate was in jeopardy it 2004, "the loudest voices of dissent were not those of scientists but rather those of everyday Americans."
