"Sen. Barbara Mikulski (D-Md.) said she was "shocked and surprised"
by NASA's decision, announced Jan. 16, to terminate what would have
been the fifth and final Hubble servicing mission."

"Maryland is home to two major Hubble facilities, the Space
Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore and NASA's Goddard Space
Flight Center in Greenbelt. Mikulski is the most senior Democrat on
the Senate Appropriations VA-HUD and independent agencies
subcommittee, which must approve NASA's budget each year."

Can we spell P-O-R-K?
