ABC News stated; In repairing the Hubble Telescope, astronauts will face more space debris than they have ever encountered, leading to "very real danger" for the week-long mission. "Something the size of of a pea could put a hole in the spacecraft," a former astronaut told ABC's "Good Morning America," noting that NASA usually tracks debris measuring two inches or more. "What you really worry about are the pieces too small to track, but big enough to do damage."
In knowing all of the information stated above, why did NASA proceed with this repair to the Hubble Telescope? Are the lives and safety of the seven astronauts worth taking a gamble with? What about the possibility of a piece of small debri hitting the Shuttle once it completes the repair and not any of the astronauts are aware of the damage. What do we have to look forward to then? Another Columbia like disaster? Is the repair worth all this? The Hubble has served its purpose and then some. Do not risk the lives of astronauts or destruction of the last three space shuttles to obatin additional information about the Universe. We can not live on any other planet in this Universe except Earth.
