Saving Hubble: Science and Grassroots Activism Meet
Got this from DFNYC:
Unique, grassroots film Saving Hubble invites you to a special benefit party
The film: Saving Hubble examines the challenges faced by Hubble from 2004 to 2006 as NASA abandoned the spacecraft and many members of the American public mobilized to save it. The film examines the desertion of Hubble in its larger political context—the fight over Hubble drew the telescope into a debate over the very future of American space policy exactly as the nation found itself drawn further into a war in Iraq. Part scientific thriller, part political satire, part road trip, Saving Hubble is a race across the American landscape, into the hearts of the people united to save Hubble.
