Let Him Do It?
A private entrepreneur wants to fix the Hubble telescope before it plunges back to earth in a fiery ball. NASA is not so sure it is a good idea even though it would get the fix for free. The entrepreneur wants to use a SpaceX capsule and do space walks from it. NASA has never done that and is concerned it won't be safe. The entrepreneur is pushing. NASA is silent. Would it be good policy and PR to let him try or an incipient disaster? No one seems to know at this point. NASA is on edge. Let him do it -- or not?
