“Hubble, Hubble, Toil and Trouble”

Complications occurred on a spacewalk to the Hubble telescope today, when the Wide Field Planetary Camera 2, which has been in place for 15 years, had a stuck bolt and wouldn’t come out. Science fans suspect a Romulan plot to change history.

Astronauts from the Space Shuttle Atlantis successfully replaced old cameras with new, more powerful ones on the Hubble telescope, as part of a mission to get Star Trek nerds minds’ back on real science.

The new cameras will be able to look even farther back in time than the old ones, enabling the astronauts to reconsider their careers as glorified janitors and maintenance workers in space.
