Transcript:
Some say we should journey back to the moon. Or better yet Mars-- with people, and soon. While money and time are spent for plans grand, little hubble continues in orbit, unmanned. For glory, it's Mars. At what risk to the crew? If the end goal is knowledge, then hubble's for you. Out there in space she silently sails, capturing images scientists hail. Star clusters and quasars, galaxies galore, black hole, supernova, the big bang-- need more? COmpared to these photos rocks on Mars are a bore! Sing praises to hubble, so humble, so true. May she sail on forever and send us her view of deepest deep space where the universe ends... who know what we'll learn who we'll see through her lens.

Hubble is great and and is still going strong, but it and other satellites can not give us everything the universe has to tell. Now that we have only a limited time left before the planet is unlivable, we should be working to find other places in the universe to live, such as Mars and Arks in space.
