Take a break from work: watch a trailer… Remember how when the space shuttle lost all its air and no one knew if the Hubble repair astronauts would be able to slingshot around the Moon and get home again, but after three days of nailbiting suspense, they did? That was cool. Seriously, though: The Hubble … more…
