It may not have been the most newsworthy story but it was certainly visually compelling. ABC's Ned Potter got his last licks in for his Rescue Mission series as the spacewalkers from Atlantis completed their fifth day of repairs on the Hubble space telescope, logging almost 37 hours of fixes.

If the repairs work, Hubble may keep looking for five to ten more years.
