President George Bush's decision to not maintain the Hubble Telescope has generated opposition as far away as Wellington New Zealand.
A spokesperson for New Zealand's National Astronomical Observatory, The Carter Observatory, says Hubble graphics are used extensively on the Distance Education Web Site that they have just built.

"The Hubble is a superb public relations investment for the United States" he added.
