Aha!  - but if this was a typical space enthusiast without concern for 
cost, I would rebuttle with the expense of various other programs that 
cost far more e.g. war, social security, etc. =)

I did not say I was not concerned - but that I didn't mind. Because the 
hardware upgrades that the taxpayers have already paid for are sitting 
around on the ground being expensive. It's not like we can take a 
Hubble component down to Chile and use it in the new telescopes there 
instead.

Enjoy,
