USATODAY.com - Robotic repair call to Hubble taking shape

From the article:

NASA officials are starting to fill in the blanks on how they might rescue the Hubble Space Telescope with a robot.

In the process, they are defining the kinds of space exploration in which robots would be just as effective as astronauts, eliminating risks to human life in space.

Robots have long been a NASA mainstay — witness the success of the Mars rovers this year. But certain missions have always been set aside for astronauts. Repairs to Hubble have been among those missions — until now.

Right in line with Robotic Nation. One would hope and expect that NASA would be a bit ahead of the curve. In a year or two robots are repairing Hubble, and then 20 years later robots are repairing your car, your house, your other robots, etc. Several million people lose their jobs in the process.
