Disappointed in Scientific American

You know, way back in August I wrote to Scientific American because they had a question on their daily trivia: How much does the Hubble Space Telescope weigh? The answer, according to them, was 11,110 kg and that it was the size of a school bus. When I first read the question I thought that it was a trick, a brain teaser, since things in space are weightless. I wrote in to the good people at Scientific American and have yet to hear back from them. Perhaps the question is just so much bigger than I understand and my ignorance is clearly so very, very vast--like the emptiness of space--that they can't bring themselves to answer what I think is a simple question. Ah well. I'll still read Scientific American. BTW, the site is sciam.com, and sciam is the subjunctive of "I know" in Latin, so one translation could be "Let me know!" Cool... so long as you're a mega-geek.
