I cannot express just how much I want this to happen.

No attempt = hubble will fail and reenter

Attempt(failure) = same

Attempt(success) = hubble continues groundbreaking science and, after some time, can be brought back to earth via Starship to become a museum piece that inspires generations!!

need to engineer a brand new rocket to do just this

SpaceX is currently doing precisely that. The new rocket is called Starship, and both the first and second stages are designed to be reusable.
