I'm not sure how much more credit it could get. It is extremely well known inside and outside of technical circles. Its images are often the face of astronomy as a whole - and credited as such.

There was a lot of criticism of the cost of the Hubble program in the beginning and then then mirrors failed after it was initally placed in orbit, turning Hubble into a national joke. NASA and Congress seriously considered abandoning Hubble then and a couple more times in the last two decades.
