Hi there!

I was wondewring about space telescopes in general and the Hubble
telescope in particular and a few questions came to mind

1)Are there attempts going on to fix the Hubble telescope and if so what
 are they and what chance do they have of success?

2)What other Space telescopes are being planned? (if any)

3)Why was the Hubble's mirror made of glass as opposed to something like
  Aluminum?

Thanks for any Info!

Cheers
Richard
