Obviously smart move to put it an a Lagrange point.
Out of curiosity though, but what kind of contingency plans can be drawn up for repair if something of the same magnitude happens that happened to Hubble?
Obviously, can't call the shuttle, and it would seem pretty expensive to keep some sort of booster strapped on it.. kind of defeating the purpose of putting it in a Lagrange, weight-wise.
Just "what if"ing.
