  - It would be a waste if technology suceeds us that way. - Marcia - 3/6/2002 1:40:37 PM
    - Limited funds and bandwidth. It'd be foolish to sink NGST (a superior insrument) due to Hubble nostalgia. (n/t) (n/t) - ectoterrestrial - 3/6/2002 1:47:59 PM
      - Yes, it would. Even more so if Hubble is still operating, nostalgia is low on the list. - Marcia - 3/6/2002 3:30:54 PM
        
        Re: Yes, it would. I agree... - ectoterrestrial - 3/6/2002 4:06:19 PM

  - Yes, there's the bandwidth issue that I addressed before - Larry J - 3/6/2002 1:11:27 PM
