Pioneer rocket scientist Robert H. Goddard once said, 'It is difficult to say what is impossible, for the dream of yesterday is the hope of today and the reality of tomorrow.' Fifty years after its inception, NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center continues to live by these words, advancing science and engineering to new limits once thought impossible as it explores of the Earth, the sun, the solar system, and the universe.

Continuing our Hubble week on SpaceVidcast.com we have our LIVE Hubble show. Where Hubble came from, where is is now and what will be happening to Hubble are all covered along with space news. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Large_Hadron_Collider http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hubble_Space_Telescope http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hubble_Space_Telescope#Flawed_mirror http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edwin_Hubble http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hubble%27s_law http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_of_the_universe http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Webb_Space_Telescope http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hubble_Space_Telescope#Orbital_decay http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yuri_Gagarin Distributed by Tubemogul.

Last week we did a story on the Hubble telescope and the upcoming and final servicing mission to fix it up. The James Webb Space Telescope was mentioned, but not many details were given. This video found on the NASA site shows what is new with JWST, why it is better than the Hubble and a bit of what we can expect. The telescope is still being built and it is possible it will be delayed a bit, but JWST is scheduled to fly no earlier than 2013, so we have a bit of time to admire the images from Hubble a bit longer.

On August 11th, 2008 the Hubble Telescope hit the 100,000 orbit mark! Since its launch in April of 1990 the Hubble Space Telescope has been traveling at 5 miles per second with its on-board odometer racking up around 2.72 BILLION miles! That's about 5,700 trips to the moon and back! In October of this year the STS-125 crew will be be working on the 5th and final servicing mission to Hubble. There are currently 5 spacewalks scheduled for Atlantis where astronauts will install new equipment and repair broken instruments. Once this mission is complete, NASA's favorite telescope will need to live out the remainder of its days alone in space, with no chance of repair. This is the story of the Hubble Space Telescope, or HST.
