Hubble at Fifteen

It's the 15th anniversary of the Hubble Space Telescope so you know where my wallpaper for the week is coming from.

But to echo Aussie Don Armstrong's comments earlier about NASA and where it is going (or not going), how is it we can't find some money to keep the Hubble Space Telescope up there and creating science that is difficult, if not impossible, to do any other way?

What are our priorities? Why do we spend billions a year fighting wars but can't find the money to fund the only large, space-based telescope there is? Sigh.
