I supported it, I doubt they will make it if it gets 10k though. They seem to be on an anti-science set trip after denying Hubble.

We can't say they are anti-science because of denying one idea - or even because of denying a few. Their primary criteria is that they can sell sufficient kits, and if they are sure they can't, then they won't try. There are also licensing issues - did NASA allow them to use the design?

And finally, did the modeller use custom pieces? LEGO will create special pieces, but only if the kit is likely to sell hugely. Otherwise, no, the modeller must stick to pre-existing pieces.

Given the science sets they have gone for, I would suggest the Hubble telescope idea failed one of the tests I mentioned above.
