   I very much doubt Hubble can be repaired by a Polaris (Crew Dragon) mission   
   since they don't have a platform to attach Dragon to Hubble. Also, who's going   
   to pay for all this? Isaacman is conjuring up this mission but I'm pretty sure   
   he's not going to    
   pay it out of his own pocket.
