    The hubble telescope hasn’t traveled the distance between what libs believe and reality.

      Hubble stays in orbit, doesn’t it? Wouldn’t Voyager be a better fit?

        My bad, I actually confused Hubble and voyager somehow. Thanks for the correction.

        It “stays” in orbit, yes, but to do so, it has to move at around 27,000 kph in orbit. The comment said “distance”, not “displacement”, so it’s still a lot.
