It's my contention that it was NASA who invented the Lithium Ion battery, and for this I sincerely would like to thank them. It revolutionised battery technology to the effect that I now have a chainsaw that runs off a Lithium Ion battery pack.

What everyone is waiting for, of course, is the invention/discovery of anti-matter and anti-gravitational forces that can be harnessed in a controlable container.

The CERN guys are working on it.

You have to remember people. that mechanic is a FLAT-EARTHER and therefore all space photos must be fakes.  Even on conspiracy websites, flat-earthers are viewed as the inbred-cousins.

dear Mechanic,
The Hubble often takes pictures using filters for Hydrogen Alpha, Oxygen 3 & Sulfur 2.
These are mapped to Red Green & Blue.( called RGB )

However the Hubble can take pictures with Red, Green & Blue filters
to give the true colours of the target.

Your home cameras do the same thing with RGB.
The pictures are taken from the camera chip as monochrome
in what's called a 2x2 Bayer matrix.
In a matrix of 2x2 there are 2 green filtered pixels for each Red & Blue pixel.
A  monochrome sensor has 4 times the resolution of a Bayer matrix.

Then there are also the other 'flat earthers' - they stare at their phones, their Iphones, their Ipads, their TV's, their Computer screens, their Laptop screens, at Movie Cinema screens, the advertisement billboards and anything else that is ...a flat screen.
All totally dependent on Technology like a primitive in a rainforest.

I think Hubble only looks at what it gets 'paid' to look at.
Heaps of people 'pay' to have Hubble look at their chosen point of reference for whatever reason.

True. But maybe they had other Telescopes (earth based) already keeping an eye on it?
Hubble is primarily used for extremely extremely distant stuff that earth-based Telescopes can't even come close to seeing, because of the atmosphere's distortions.
