Does anyone know if a launch vehicle has been selected for the James Webb space telescope? (NGST) Last I heard, it was still a toss-up between 2 or 3 different disposable vehicles, and a modified shuttle....thinking here that the loss of Columbia will probably affect that decision. Patrick, what do your NASA connections say? Will the NGST be delayed because of the shuttle loss? And a related question: Will one of the remaining shuttles be risked to return the Hubble to earth when it's mission is terminated? I had read of the possibility of it going on-display in the National Air & Space Museum. Sorry if these questions are naive; I'm not a dedicated follower of the space program.
