ATLANTIS ASTRONAUTS GEAR UP FOR RISKY HUBBLE MISSION ATLANTIS ASTRONAUTS GEAR UP FOR RISKY HUBBLE MISSION - Seven NASA astronauts are gearing up to tackle a risky shuttle mission to repair the Hubble Space Telescope. Commanded by veteran astronaut Scott Altman, the STS-125 astronaut crew and NASA's space shuttle Atlantis are set to launch on Oct. 10 and soar 350 miles (563 km) above Earth to reach Hubble, which would leave the crew without the safety net of the International Space Station to fall back on in case of emergency. But the crew's three veterans of previous Hubble servicing flight are confident of mission success.   More
