To put it simply, the Hubble Space Telescope is the telescope that would not die. Repeatedly in its history there have been efforts to stop its construction or end its use. All eventually failed. On a fundamental human level, Hubble epitomized the inevitable and irresistible lure of the unknown. Everyone involved in the telescope's creation knew that a telescope above the atmosphere was going to see things that had never been seen before. No one could resist that promise. [i]The Universe in a Mirror[/i] tells the background story of the men and women who conceived, built, and saved the Hubble Space Telescope. Their effort, which often involved significant personal sacrifice, not only gave us all a spectacular glimpse into the unknown, it forever changed our perception of the universe.
