They are still working to find out if the spectograph is indeed dead, or is just suffering from a minor glitch that can be repaired remotely.

I sure hope so, it has been an incredible tool of science over the years. But, I would not put it past O'Keefe to stage a little accident to justify his unpopular position to let hubble go. If its gets too "broken" then they cant fix it. Hopefully the Hubbel Supporters in NASA wont allow it. But you never know.

It is not completely "broken" as was stated earlier but unfortunately there are going to be no shuttle missions to repair it.

Everyone should write to thier congressmen and get them to put pressure on NASA. Several Astonauts have volenteered to do this mission.
We Need Regime Change At NASA! Send in the troops!

Looks like the Hubble will be getting fixed after all. The plan seems to be using robots to fix it. This is great news.
