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.
Yes, Edwin Hubble was married to Grace Burke Hubble. They did not have any children.

The Hubble Space Telescope orbits Earth at an average speed of about 28,000 kilometers per hour (17,500 miles per hour). This high velocity allows it to complete one full orbit approximately every 95 minutes. Hubble's orbital altitude is around 547 kilometers (about 340 miles) above the Earth's surface.

The Hubble Space Telescope was named after the American astronomer Edwin Hubble, who played a crucial role in changing our understanding of the universe by demonstrating that galaxies are moving away from each other.

Edwin Hubble
The Hubble Telescope was named after its designer 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.

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.
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.
