Preserving our space heritage
... answer to the latter question is perhaps an easier one to address. Scientific satellites such as the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) have contributed enormously to our understanding of the universe and are surely worth preserving. ... us if we allowed this powerful symbol of international collaboration to disappear. One of the landers on Mars might one day be the first to unequivocally discover evidence of life beyond the Earth; surely that spacecraft...
