After 13 days in Space the servicing is complete! Congratulations to NASA and all of the people who played a role in the completion of this mission. My wife played a part in working on the special "pistol grip tool" as well as many other special tools for the servicing.



here is a video with live shots as well as computer generated shots:

Hubble is an amazing device and an incredible accomplishment. If we really want to pump up the economy in the long run we should be funding more projects like this one.
