Well in a Monty Pythonesque flashback
  "But I'm not dead yet..."
the Hubble refurbishment missions may get yet another
review.  It would appear that from within NASA reports
are surfacing (though the author declined to disclose
his identity) that there is not an excessive or differential
safety risk to deal with the telescope.

Drat those engineers -- leave it to them to interfere with
the carefully laid plans of the politicians and administrators.
