Hubble has changed the way I think about the past, the future, god and humanity. Our past is so deep, our future so vast, the mind of “god” more complex and humanities place in the universe more hopeful. How little we knew of the universe before Hubble is so apparent after viewing just one of the images. You can’t be anything but amazed and awed by them. Pride also comes to mind because we are a part of the wonders brought to us by Hubble. The Universe is so vast and complex and Hubble has helped shrink and unravel some of it.
I have become emotional viewing the images. How amazing is that? I cannot express enough what I have gained from what Hubble has brought to me. I am not the only one to have an emotional connection to this ‘eye in the sky’. Every single human being on earth is changed by what Hubble has shown us. And humanity as a whole owes its future to this machine. We are bound to travel the cosmos and, because of Hubble, we can map our future and remember our past more clearly.
Thank you Hubble for all you have shown us. You reintroduced these simple children of the stars to their parents. You have place in every human on earth’s heart. Your name will be passed down the generations until it is legend. We are forever in your debt.

As a child I would stare up into the sky in wonder. I could only imagine what things looked like. I remember the first images of the outer planets sent back by Voyager. I was amazed. Only in black and white, but these were real pictures of things so far away that my mind boggled at the distances. I wanted more. Along came Hubble.
