consider beautiful but that reveals the answer to some important question like how stars form how the galaxy form and so to a scientist the beauty is a totally different thing the fact that hubble produces beautiful images that children like to see is very important for the funding of hubble and of course that's important for we scientists that's exactly what i meant so and so in that sense yes it is important in fact i can tell you. in the united states maybe in many countries schoolchildren tend to be fascinated by certain things they're fascinated by dinosaurs for fifty years now if you would go to a typical classroom in the united states and look at posters on the wall you would see pictures of dinosaurs for the first time last year pictures from hubble space telescope occurred more often than dinosaurs on the walls of the classrooms of america that. that is quite an accomplished so thank you children for funding to help well in fact that's true but there are we've had servicing missions to the hubble. five of them actually and the last one there was a lot of questioning because the econ
