How Do You Feel About The Space Program?

Since ancient times people have gazed at the starry sky and wondered what was really up there. Today scientists are learning more and more about our universe and what our place is in it.

    I saw the space mission some decade or so ago where the Hubble lenses were replaced. It has been widely reported that the actual lenses were replaced with vitrual reality computer programs. What is the actual history of the Hubble optics vs the virtual reality claim?
