Your Reply: HTML is ON UBB Code is ON Smilies Legend	[QUOTE]Originally posted by Robert Pearlman: [B]Are you referring to [URL=http://www.mercurynews.com/mld/mercurynews/news/opinion/15432471.htm]this article[/URL]? <BLOCKQUOTE>[i]The shuttle is the world's most versatile spacecraft to date. Orion will be even more so. It is designed to fly to the moon, but it also may be used to service the International Space Station. For instance, we may be able to use it to bring the Hubble Space Telescope safely back to Earth in the 2020s, after its stargazing mission is finished. The possibilities seem limitless.[/i]</BLOCKQUOTE> If so, the author is Scott Horowitz, former astronaut and current NASA Associate Administrator for Exploration Systems. I believe when he writes that Orion will be able to return Hubble safely to Earth, he is referring to the addition of a deorbit stage to facilitate a controlled reentry, but I could be mistaken.[/B][/QUOTE]
