COMMENTS: Awesome Images
As Atlantis launched on its mission to repair the Hubble telescope, ABC filed part three of Rescue Mission, its behind-the-scenes profile of the seven astronauts. Ned Potter showed them joking about the space food they will have to eat and the clothes they will wear. On NBC, Tom Costello was more interested in Hubble, "the size of a city bus orbiting 350 miles above Earth." He showed us a selection of awesome images taken since its launch in 1990: "a starburst of galaxies…and planetary gases…star clusters…cosmic pearls…a sculpture of gas…dust from a dying star." Noted ABC anchor Charles Gibson: "The telescope has not had a fix-up in seven years."
