1. The initial problems Hubble had were technical delays, budget problems, and the space shuttle that was carrying Hubble, started turning into ash after only 72 seconds in its flight.

The Hubble Space Telescope was launched into orbit on April 24, 1990. Hubble was funded in the 1970s with a proposed launch in 1983, but technical and budget problems delayed the launch for seven years.
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.

The cost at launch in 1990 was 1.5 billion US-$.
The shuttle missions are numbered in order of launch date. The next launch will be STS-125, which will service Hubble. Sometimes they launch out of sequence because of delays. STS-119 will launch in between STS-126 and STS-127. Assuming the first launch was STS-1, there would seem to have been 123 shuttle missions.

The James Webb Space Telescope is scheduled for launch in 2018. The Webb telecope is not a direct replacement for the Hubble. The Hubble has been so reliable since its launch in April, 1990, that it's expected to function through 2014, and possibly as long as 2020.
1.5 billion US-$ at the launch in 1990.
The design (= planning) started in 1970, with a launch scheduled originally for 1983. The launch was in 1990, but in between there have been long delays, almost stoppage of work, due to technical and budgetary problems. Finally, the Challenger disaster was responsible for the ultimate delay before launch.
