"NASA Aborts Attempt
To Save Dying Space Telescope"
the Trump-Vance space administrator
Jared Isaacman, billionaire
space veteran / astro-tourist
admitted NASA's ambitious
rescue mission has been called
off and the Space TELESCOPE
will burn up on uncontrolled
entry into the atmosphere.
NASA is aware that it will
re-enter earth's atmosphere later
in 2026. . .and try to
"help fill the gap of telescope
options in the meantime."
