STS 125 shows capability to service large in-space objects

On http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/shuttle/main/index.html and on the NASA televised network, there is an ongoing coverage of the upgrade and repair to the Hubble Telescope.

There is very close work by the mission specialist and the robotic arm operator.

Coverage is more than acceptable, with spectacular in depth field of views of the space shuttle as an orbiting nestle captive platform of the now captured Hubble Telescope.

These current pictures supplied to the public media via constant satellite to ground link feed, would have more than amazed the early pioneers of space flight.

*Notes so you understand what’s going on.

The fasteerning of each nut and bolt to replace such hardware and insert able cameras, being so many turns in portable battery tool supplied rotations, is for both insurance and business means.

This is so, as the people who have supplied the Hubble to work at it station in space, are in some part companies themselves.

So therefore, every bolt and how many turns that bolt is fastened, translates directly to company investments of money.

Since this company and governmental agengenies are very closely in a business capacity, every turn and method of how any fixture and or movement placed upon this to be repaired item balances out as a money responsible item, all actions must be accounted for.

This way if there is a failure of some key critical component as a service issue later on the Hubble, that mission specialist has coverage, or an alibi for their actions in servicing that item.

Repair actions are also somewhat similar within the military services, with sometimes an inspector having to open and reinspect every single aspect of a series items, for it seems, not reason at all.

*The second aspect in servicing so that this process is so redundant flawless, is for an acceptable safety margins.

It is good to take a little time, sit down and observe how a well coordinated crew in the realm of near space, takes on their s assigned task of accepting an asked task.

Not off subject topic master of posting here, told me not too start too many new threads:

My personal comment on the other hidden issues:

I am not a malcontent. When something is wrong or when an issue poses danger, I will say something, then let it go.

Altrtough NASA seems to be doing spectacular as of late in their attempts to repair large in space objects there is one minor, which could become a major problem later on.

This world, has no protective short ranged space fleet, to protect its own interests in both the near space real and the space colonies further our.

Our resident yellow fruit, as their called. Which I believe can be extended to cover any said resident in a secret above or below ground base, who is “of course from Cleanvalnd”, may at this time by agreement, be covering Earth’s astronautics core, not to everyone’s knowledge.

I’m sorry, but the potential predicament lies in the area of probable mathematical per-chance meetings.

What happens if Earth is say colonizing a short distance away moon and the (engine), on yellow fruits tea cup and saucer breaks down.

Say another similar protective craft cannot make it, or the area that moon is placed in, would make radioing for a need right away backup, a force that would not arrive there to that trouble spot?

This is bound to happen, as this probability lies in the area of mathicamatical per chance happening.

This is why I would care to see a frigate style and size protected craft designed and then made, to protect our off world investments.

What is know about people from Cleveland is that by example, one group who seemed to be examining a butane bomb cleared out area in wartime Vietnam, was encounter. Shots were fired, however the leader of both the LRRPS patrol and the mutual leader of the group from Cleveland, were both of character enough to not let the accident get carried away.

What we also know about places such as South America, is that in a very great part, underdeveloped remote areas of South America, acts as an open store for many types of people from Cleveland to get such items as water, ore from rocks gathered and plant starters.

So what your seeing, is these people getting the items that they need, using their landings, as a sort of shopping trip.

Bad occurrences do happen down there every once ion a while, such as a senseless killing, that the natives to that area cannot figure out.

It is on the last note, that there is clearly a demonstrated need for an immediate construction of a small short range space felt, to answer a call or enforce a settlement, if somehow say a form of pirate or marauder would be encountered.

I close by saying, maybe sometimes it is not wise to argue with either the government or city hall.

However in the argument avoided, simply be reminded that beings that you might meet out in space, are not always necessarily friendly..?!

Thank you
