12. Hubble Telescope - Looking For Creation

January 1, 1995

NASAs Hubble space telescope is a modern example of turning defeat into victory. When Hubble was launched, it was touted as the most advanced telescope of its kind, promising to bring the deepest reaches of the galaxy into sharp focus. But a problem in the telescope's primary mirror called spherical aberration forced astronomers to rethink their science goals.

9. Four Rooms - Earth Views

January 1, 1995

"Four rooms with Earth Views." We may be seeing ads like this in the not too distant future. In fact, theres the equivalent of a small bungalow out there in space right now, thats empty and available, with a beautiful view of Earth. It's called Sky Lab, and it's already had 9 tenants. It's main purpose - to make space flight more useful for man's endeavors on Earth.

8. Eyes in the Sky - Spy Satellites

January 1, 1995

NASA studies reached not only into the atmosphere, like the pioneering work done at Navy Test Pilot School, but the missions of Magellan, Galileo, and Euless, help us understand our planetary neighbors as well. These crafts deployed probes that would help research these planets, conducting experiments and taking images that show rare glimpses of our neighboring planets.
