The video is Rob Bassano - a Stamford AI specialist -- in a near monologue to Nick Veronico who has worked on SOFIA for 8 years at their Science Centre .
Rob shows that NASA lost the Hubble telescope , probably around '08 , when they went to service it and tried to catapult it back to around 300 miles altitude from its 200 mile position --- this drop had resulted from orbital decay .
Hubble has no propulsion units and direction is handled by internal gyroscopes .
It could not be stopped and therefore disappeared into space .
Rob indicates that there are no photos in existence of Hubble in situ over 25 years and many servicing missions are not even logged into the FAN data base .
Hubble only had a maximum 5 micron range in the infra red frequency band ( but typically 2.5 ) compared to SOFIA at 250 microns , despite the latter flying at only a max of 45 000 feet , ( ISS ca 220 miles and Hubble at ca 330 miles max . )
Anybody here savvy enough to show that Robs work is incomplete or faulty ?
Remember , the only way you know Hubble exists is if you are assured it does by NASA . There is no other independent evidence over 25 years .
SOFIA can do everything Hubble does / did in terms of distance , albeit infra red rather than optical . And SOFIA has around 100 times more frequency width -- 2.5 vs 250 microns . Same technical specs / mirror size etc
Hubble's replacement -- the James Webb -- has been repeatedly delayed and one wonders what it is supposed to do that SOFIA presently does not already achieve .
I can readily believe that NASA lost Hubble but decided not to admit to a multi billion dollar blunder when it could be covered up .
Unless a Rob Bassano type figure accidentally appeared .
