STS-125: Final Shuttle Mission to Hubble Space Telescope
About Me:
"On this mission, we tried some things that some people said were impossible.
Weve achieved that, and we wish Hubble the very best. Its really a sign of the great country that we live in that were able to do things like this on a marvelous spaceship, like space shuttle Atlantis.

A Few Words From John Grunsfeld About the STS-125 Mission
Tue, 19 May 2009 04:06:59 AM GMT+0900
Outside the airlock hatch, John Grunsfeld said,
"This is a really tremendous adventure that weve been on, a very challenging mission. Hubble isnt just a satellite- its about humanitys quest for knowledge."
He also thanked several people who contributed to Hubble and the servicing mission, then went on to say,
"A tour de force of tools and human ingenuity. On this mission in particular, the only way of finding the limits of the possible is by going beyond them into the impossible.
On this mission, we tried some things that some people said were impossible.
Weve achieved that, and we wish Hubble the very best.
Its really a sign of the great country that we live in that were able to do things like this on a marvelous spaceship, like space shuttle Atlantis.
Im convinced that if we can solve problems, like repairing Hubble, getting into space, doing the servicing we do, travelling 17,500 mph around the Earth, we can achieve other great things, like solving the energy problems and climate problems- all of the things that are in the middle of NASAs prime and core values.
As Drew and I go into the airlock, I want to wish Hubble its own set of adventures and with the new instruments that weve installed that it may unlock further mysteries of the universe."

Hubble is large enough and has this huge heavy mirror that some parts of Hubble will make it down to the ground, and we dont want it to fall on a city or, you know, on any place that could do damage. So it has to have a controlled entry and it has to be a guided entry, so it goes somewhere, say into the Pacific."http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/shuttle/shuttlemissions/hst_sm4/interview_Grunsfeld.html
