The description of the politics behind the scoping and budgeting of the Hubble will be of great value to managers of scientific and technical programs. Mangement professors should consider assigning it to students.

Who would have thought it. Exploding stars create gamma rays that bombard us constantly and the rate that they come in coorelates to global warming (and cooling). Wow.
