Good point! I probably could have updated this particular one to be A Big Story about Big Things. Quite true :)

Another great story in a small package! This brought back memories of my last job before I retired. I was working for Hughes Aircraft Company, Los Angeles in their Space Division as a Project Business Manager. The Hubbell Space Telescope was launched in 1990, but there were problems and the full capabilities were not realized until 1993, when a Hughes repair fix was sent to fully wake up the unit.

Charles - Wow! Thanks for sharing about your connection to the Hubbell Space Telescope! I was very recently reminded about that very story where needed to provide a fix so the photos would not be so blurry. Thanks for sharing!
