We probably will have even cooler stuff up there in twenty years. Also, with the accessibility of space opening up, a refueling mission may become possible.

Most likely not refueling, but docking with a spacecraft that will provide propulsion. Has been tried with MEV-1 spacecraft docking Intelsat 901 a couple years back. JWST has a docking ring for that purpose.
