A full-scale replica is already in the Smithsonian NASM

The Structural Dynamic Test Vehicle, to be exact:

http://collections.nasm.si.edu/code/emuseum.asp?profile=objects&newstyle=single&quicksearch=A19870193000

The museum could always surround this version with some of the real
HST instruments that used to be on the satellite for that extra
authentic space look.

Here is a proposal for a possible use after the main mission of HST:

I'm gathering that most if not all of Hubble's repairs-remodels will get done? - Bowser - 5/18/2009 3:38:28 PM
- Can and will Hubble be used to track and characterize NEOs - E.P. - 5/18/2009 6:55:14 PM

        re: They Posed for a Pic. - Those were the last men to use a shuttle's airlock. - Marcia - 5/18/2009 9:10:47 PM
        
        Honestly, I think Q-Public should be thanked too: - Marcia - 5/18/2009 9:24:45 PM
        
        I hope former NASA Administration O'Keefe was watching - Socrates II - 5/19/2009 1:03:30 PM
        
        re: I hope former NASA Administration O'Keefe was watching. - I hope so too! Also, you know what that is about robotics: - Marcia - 5/20/2009 11:17:36 PM
        
        Say it with me - Socrates II - 5/21/2009 1:23:07 PM

        Was it worth it?...Given a regular shuttle mission cost $500M this probably cost $800M - Sawyer - 5/21/2009 1:10:18 AM
        
        re: Was it worth it? - Given the fact that we didn't have to use that second shuttle, et al... absolutely. - Marcia - 5/21/2009 1:25:49 AM

        During every repair mission, parts of the HST have been recovered - Raoul - 5/21/2009 3:44:36 PM
