I don't know how anyone can see the Hubble 'Deep Field'

I don’t know how anyone can see the Hubble ‘Deep Field’ image and not feel like something else is going about its business out there.
Tracy K. Smith
Hubble wasn’t designed to look at objects in our solar system, but after it was launched, astronomers realized that with just a little bit of modification to the software, it could look at solar system objects.
Heidi Hammel
Hubble isn’t just a satellite; it’s about humanity’s quest for knowledge.
John M. Grunsfeld
The thing about telescopes is that the mirror is the main component. Once that’s built, you don’t need to build new ones; you just need to swap out the instruments. There’s nothing wrong with Hubble’s mirror.
Heidi Hammel
We don’t use Hubble to stare at Jupiter unless there’s a special event or some special reason.

That’s what Hubble can do for us. It can tell us whether the universe is expanding forever or if one day it’s going to come back together.
Duane G. Carey
With correction, and given the chance, ‘Terra Nova’ can and will deliver seasons of transcendent images and story-telling. Failing to renew ‘Terra Nova’ is shortsighted, as myopic as it would have been to scrap the Hubble. ‘Terra Nova’ is the Hubble Telescope of television.
Stephen Lang
Hubble has established for the first time that the distant universe looks different from the nearby universe.
Sandra Faber

Heidi Hammel
Hubble is absolutely unique; we must have a telescope in space to complement the very large telescopes on the ground.
Heidi Hammel
Together, NASA and Hubble are opening new vistas on the universe.
Heidi Hammel
The team at the Space Telescope Science Institute has a demonstrated record of meeting the high-performance challenges of operating the Hubble Space Telescope and preparing for the James Webb Space Telescope.
John M. Grunsfeld
Because Hubble’s been up so many years now, it’s actually given us a window to things like… how planets’ atmospheres actually change, evolve… over time.
Heidi Hammel
Even with an improperly ground mirror, the Hubble delivered extraordinary images. When the flaw was corrected, the Hubble delivered images of transcendent beauty and value for many years. So too ‘Terra Nova.’ Even in its flawed first season, each episode was full of marvelous moments and beautiful images.
Stephen Lang
Hubble is the most important telescope in history after Galileo’s first telescope.
Sandra Faber
I expect New Horizons will see more that Hubble cannot see.
Alan Stern
With the Hubble telescope and all the other things that are out there, I believe something would have come through. Today, I really believe we are unique.
Mark Goddard
Even Hubble hasn’t found yet the end of this universe, and we don’t know that it has any end.
Billy Graham
The Hubble Space Telescope is more than remarkable. It has answered just so many of those fundamental questions that people have been asking about the cosmos since people were able to ask questions.
John M. Grunsfeld
The Hubble Space Telescope, which was designed for extreme servicing, you know, we can fix everything. And the James Webb Space Telescope, where we can fix nothing. It has to work the first time. And it’s a very complicated telescope.
John M. Grunsfeld
Hubble orbits high, outside Earth’s atmosphere so it can see a wide spectrum of light our atmosphere blocks.

The Hubble program has been so fantastically successful. It’s more than what anyone expected.

The Earth – from our altitude at Hubble, we’re 350 miles up. We can see the curvature. We can see the roundness of our home, our home planet. And it’s the most magnificent thing I’ve ever seen. It’s like looking into Heaven. It’s paradise.
Michael J. Massimino
I kind of feel like I found my cause in life servicing the Hubble Space Telescope.
