The Hubble images far surpassed anything taken by any telescope on Earth.
To help enable the kind of science Hubble is performing makes my life worthwhile.
Hubble is the most important telescope in history after Galileo's first telescope.
I kind of feel like I found my cause in life servicing the Hubble Space Telescope.
Hubble knows there is interesting stuff out there, but Hubble isn't quite big enough.
Even Hubble hasn't found yet the end of this universe, and we don't know that it has any end.
The Hubble program has been so fantastically successful. It's more than what anyone expected.
We don't use Hubble to stare at Jupiter unless there's a special event or some special reason.
Hubble is unique. Nothing else can do what it can do. Once it's gone, we're going to be paralyzed.
The Hubble Telescope can see the farthest galaxies. The Webb Telescope will see the farthest stars.
I think probably the discoveries made by Hubble Space Telescope have been very dramatic, very amazing.
I'm such a long-term investor, I've never really let go and celebrated what I did with the Hubble telescope.
Hubble orbits high, outside Earth's atmosphere so it can see a wide spectrum of light our atmosphere blocks.
Hubble has established for the first time that the distant universe looks different from the nearby universe.
I wondered had I really oversold the Hubble. I have to admit that, since, I have been convinced that I didn't.
Hubble is absolutely unique; we must have a telescope in space to complement the very large telescopes on the ground.
I can't imagine anywhere I'd rather be than outside the space shuttle in my space suit next to the Hubble Space Telescope.
The whole Hubble program has just been a fabulous testament to the NASA science community and the NASA astronaut community.
Hubble uniquely has been able to look in the atmosphere of a planet orbiting a nearby star and figure out what's in that atmosphere.
I don't know how anyone can see the Hubble 'Deep Field' image and not feel like something else is going about its business out there.
It's always a combination of physics and poetry that I find inspiring. It's hard to wrap your head around things like the Hubble scope.
Hubble is very close to my heart, and going back to Hubble, because I was there once already in 1993, is really a great privilege for me.
That's what Hubble can do for us. It can tell us whether the universe is expanding forever or if one day it's going to come back together.
Hubble has really opened our eyes to what the universe is made of, its structure, and has helped us learn how little we know about the universe.
The exciting results from the Hubble, other satellites and probes would not have been possible without innovative solutions to many technical problems.
A Hubble Space Telescope photograph of the universe evokes far more awe for creation than light streaming through a stained glass window in a cathedral.
With the Hubble telescope and all the other things that are out there, I believe something would have come through. Today, I really believe we are unique.
Because Hubble's been up so many years now, it's actually given us a window to things like... how planets' atmospheres actually change, evolve... over time.
There is no stronger case for the motivational power of real science than the discoveries that come from the Hubble Space Telescope as it unravels the mysteries of the universe.
The Next Generation Space Telescope, which will be located much further away from the Earth than the Hubble Space Telescope presently is, will also explore the infrared part of the spectrum.
The Hubble Space Telescope is more than remarkable. It has answered just so many of those fundamental questions that people have been asking about the cosmos since people were able to ask questions.
When my father died, those years when he was working on the Hubble came back to me, and it seemed fitting to imagine him as having somehow merged with the large mystery that the universe represents.
I have a little piece of Hubble that someone brought back from one of the repair missions. It's on my desk, where I work. I do feel a personal connection to it. It's been part of my life for 20 years.
The team at the Space Telescope Science Institute has a demonstrated record of meeting the high-performance challenges of operating the Hubble Space Telescope and preparing for the James Webb Space Telescope.
The thing about telescopes is that the mirror is the main component. Once that's built, you don't need to build new ones; you just need to swap out the instruments. There's nothing wrong with Hubble's mirror.
I feel privileged and honored to have flown. It's been a tremendous ride, looking back on the legacy and accomplishments, like the Hubble telescope and the launching of the International Space Station in 1998.
Hubble wasn't designed to look at objects in our solar system, but after it was launched, astronomers realized that with just a little bit of modification to the software, it could look at solar system objects.
The Hubble Space Telescope, which was designed for extreme servicing, you know, we can fix everything. And the James Webb Space Telescope, where we can fix nothing. It has to work the first time. And it's a very complicated telescope.
The Earth - from our altitude at Hubble, we're 350 miles up. We can see the curvature. We can see the roundness of our home, our home planet. And it's the most magnificent thing I've ever seen. It's like looking into Heaven. It's paradise.
Every field of astrophysics - whether it's our local neighborhood of planets, nearby stars and their attendant planets, galaxies, clusters of galaxies, out to the edge of the universe - every field has questions that are awaiting the power of Hubble.
I will fight in the United States Senate this year to fund a servicing mission to Hubble by 2008, a mission that would potentially increase Hubble's power and efficiency by a factor of 10 and allow us to look back almost to the beginning of the universe.
With correction, and given the chance, 'Terra Nova' can and will deliver seasons of transcendent images and story-telling. Failing to renew 'Terra Nova' is shortsighted, as myopic as it would have been to scrap the Hubble. 'Terra Nova' is the Hubble Telescope of television.
Science sent the Hubble telescope out into space, so it could capture light and the absence thereof, from the very beginning of time. And the telescope really did that. So now we know that there was once absolutely nothing, such a perfect nothing that there wasn't even nothing or once.
