It orbits at 17,500 miles per hour (almost 5 miles per second).
The Hubble Space Telescope has an orbital velocity of 7,500 m/s (meters a second) or nearly 17,000 mph.
The Hubble Telescope was named after its designer Edwin Hubble.
Edwin P. Hubble is related to the Hubble space telescope because he suggested that we launch a telescope into space so they named it after Edwin's last name, Hubble.

Edwin Hubble
Astronomer, Edwin Hubble, married Grace Burke on February 26, 1924. A veteran of the United States Army, Hubble is remembered for Hubble's Law, which tells us the universe is expanding. The Hubble Space Telescope is named after him.

I don't hubble
No, Edwin Hubble had nothing directly to do with the Hubble Telescope, it was named for him because he profoundly changed the understanding of the nature of the universe. Hubble died before the the physical exploration of space began. Hubble also created his own Hubble telescope back in 1929 but it is not the orbiting Hubble telescope.

The Earth is not 12 billion years old. It is more like 5 billion years old. Hubble's constant cannot be determined from the age of the Earth. Hubble's constant describes how fast the universe is expanding. It can be determined by looking at the redshifts of stars that are a known distance away. From the redshift, one can determine the velocity of the star. Then Hubble's constant is defined as follows: v=Hd where v is the velocity of the star, H is Hubble's constant and d is the distance to the star. The current accepted value of Hubble's constant is about 71 km/s/Mpc.
