Pork Defense Tactic

As a huge fan of astronomy, I agree saving the hubble
is a good thing. The administration seems to think
that only having one scope up at a time is all that is
needed, I strongly disagree agree with this. The more
scopes up there, the more science will be
accomplished.

There is a petition going around to do this also:
http://www.savethehubble.org/petition.jsp

I recommend signing it if you're a supporter.
