Asked by: @KrnSidez via twitter to @patricknorton

The quick answer is that the Hubble Space Telescope is about 40 feet long and has an Earth weight of about 12 tons. We often say that it is about the size of a large school bus. See the Hubble Essentials: Quick Facts page at HubbleSite for other basic figures.

The more detailed answer? Well, that involves negotiations with the low Earth orbit delivery service.
