The team at the Space Telescope Science Institute has a demonstrated record of meeting the high-performance challenges of operating the Hubble Space Telescope and preparing for the James Webb Space Telescope.

John M. Grunsfeld

The Hubble Space Telescope, which was designed for extreme servicing, you know, we can fix everything. And the James Webb Space Telescope, where we can fix nothing. It has to work the first time. And it's a very complicated telescope.

John M. Grunsfeld

The Next Generation Space Telescope, which will be located much further away from the Earth than the Hubble Space Telescope presently is, will also explore the infrared part of the spectrum.

Claude Nicollier

I can't imagine anywhere I'd rather be than outside the space shuttle in my space suit next to the Hubble Space Telescope.

John M. Grunsfeld

I kind of feel like I found my cause in life servicing the Hubble Space Telescope.

John M. Grunsfeld

Science sent the Hubble telescope out into space, so it could capture light and the absence thereof, from the very beginning of time. And the telescope really did that. So now we know that there was once absolutely nothing, such a perfect nothing that there wasn't even nothing or once.

Kurt Vonnegut

Hubble is absolutely unique; we must have a telescope in space to complement the very large telescopes on the ground.

Heidi Hammel

Hubble is the most important telescope in history after Galileo's first telescope.

Sandra Faber

We have all kinds of limitations as human beings. I mean we can't see the whole electromagnetic spectrum, we can't see the very small, we can't see the very far. So we compensate for these short comings with technological scaffoldings. The microscope allows us to extend our vision into the microsphere. The telescope allows us to extend our vision into the macrosphere, the Hubble Space Telescope extends our optic nerve into space, and it allows us to mainline space and time through our optic nerve.

Jason Silva

There is no stronger case for the motivational power of real science than the discoveries that come from the Hubble Space Telescope as it unravels the mysteries of the universe.

John M. Grunsfeld

With the eyes of the Hubble Space Telescope we have seen that the House of God is the House of Chaos!

Mehmet Murat Ildan

I think probably the discoveries made by Hubble Space Telescope have been very dramatic, very amazing.

Peggy Whitson

A Hubble Space Telescope photograph of the universe evokes far more awe for creation than light streaming through a stained glass window in a cathedral.

Michael Shermer

I feel privileged and honored to have flown. It's been a tremendous ride, looking back on the legacy and accomplishments, like the Hubble telescope and the launching of the International Space Station in 1998.

Alan G. Poindexter

With the Hubble telescope and all the other things that are out there, I believe something would have come through. Today, I really believe we are unique.
