Watch the STS 125 Atlantis astronauts make the final visit to the Hubble Space Telescope live on NASA TV. It’s hard to overstate the beauty and scientific value of the Hubble’s nineteen years of discoveries.
Enjoy it while you can. As the Seablogger puts it "The remaining shuttles are soon to be retired, and no replacement is likely. I suspect much of the space program will be terminated as health care and other costs overwhelm the federal budget." That does seem likely, and that Barry will be content to grovel in the mud.
