Mission accomplished.
These guys hardly get recognized unless they're killed.

Don't it just give you the goosebumps?

Was just watching the wrap-up of their work. Gave the Hubble another 5-10
years of life with even more enhanced capabilities. Definitely have
received our taxpayer's money's worth out of the Hubble. Astronomers have
had to rewrite the books on our understanding of the universe. Your right,
unless you are interested in it, the data it has provided goes mostly
unnoticed by most of the public.

Sad that this mission was the last time human hands will ever touch the
Hubble. With the Shuttle program being shut down, it will no longer be
able to be serviced.
