I'm really glad to know they have every intention of continuing to use Hubble and not just throwing her away because they have the JWST, I hope it was launched 12 years before my birth, and when I really started getting into space that's whenever I first found out about the Hubble telescope and all the really cool images it had captured. As much as I love the James Webb space telescope I am still very biased for Hubble she's the workhorse and therefore I love her

Hubble and JWST are very different instruments. They are complementary to each other, so we'll keep utilising both for as long as we can - it's been more than a decade since the final Hubble servicing mission, so eventually it is going to experience an unrecoverable failure.
