Re: [math-fun] one crazy idea

After all, the company making the Hubble's lenses was the same company that had been making lenses for spy satellites since the beginning, and it's hard to see how they could have made such an 'error'.

The story at the time was that they were not allowed to use test equipment from the classified programs in bulding the Hubble mirror. I think the Earth is too bright for Hubble to look at so if they were doing something secret, it is hard to imagine what it would have been. My devious imagination fails at finding something who's coversion is so great that the cheapest way to do is was to fly an otherwise unneeded service mission to the Hubble. Whit
