I've been watching some of the live coverage of the
STS-125 Hubble Servicing Mission over the past few days, and I couldn't be more impressed by the professionalism of the Shuttle crew and the rest of the people involved. They made the difficult look routine, and you almost forget the thousands of person hours of tools and process development and testing that must have gone into the mission preparation over the past couple of years.
Hubble was released back into space this morning.
All that remains to be said is "God speed!"
