I don't know if anyone's posted this yet...but it's definitely worth a re-post.

I figured they would try something like this again. wink.gif

Master Betty: Nyah. Haha. It is EVIL, it is so EVIL. It is a bad, bad plan, which will hurt many... people... who are good. I think it's great that it's so bad.

I can't believe what thought process just went through my head.

"Oh yeah - that Ikonos image is the same sort of quality for Jupiter as HiRISE managed. Those Mars pics from Ikonos are good - I wonder what Mars would look like through HiRISE"

Duhhh

My space telescope fantasy, though, would be to end Hubble's mission by putting it in Jupiter orbit somewhere outside Callisto's orbit. Imagine the regular stream of images we'd get with HST being 200 times closer to Jupiter et al than it is now.


I have a liiiiiittle list of candidates (I would say 'volunteers', but that might not be entirely accurate) for the crew of the first Jupiter-orbit HST Servicing Mission... ...no, truth to tell, it's quite a *big* list! Politicos make great crew for risky flights - they're so, well, disposable...
