Sure lots of organizations have unique capabilities, and SpaceX is one of those! Better to bring home Hubble than let it burn up once it's no longer operational. I definitely rate inspiration much higher than 'dubious' :)

I think there is a good option for choosing your priors in the Earth/Sun problem you mentioned. Just put them at 50/50. That's basically stating that you have no preference for one theory over the other, and it allows for any
