. “We’re poised now for many years of discovery ahead, and we’ll be looking at everything from our solar system to exoplanets to distant galaxies. Hubble plays a powerful role in NASA’s astronomical toolkit.”

So glad to hear! It's an amazing piece of hardware. I know it's had plenty of repairs over time, but I'm always a bit amazed that it's still functioning.
