Hubble is one of those great things in that it does give us lots of scientific data whilst still apealing to the "oooh nice photos" public who fund it via their taxes.
The greatest success that NASA has had with Hubble goes beyond the valuable scientific data that is collected. Instead, the breathtaking images that are released to the public in the form of downloadable images that are perfect for desktop work, or in the form of posters for public consumption, get the average Joe excited about outer space again.
Once the populous gets excited about NASA then the funding starts pouring in again.
Good point. Aside from mounds of scientific data, amazing high-res images of the universe are something the general public can certainly understand and appreciate.

Hats off to the Hubble project. This has certainly been one of the most successful and productive NASA projects of the last decade or so.
