There was no regrinding of the mirror. They installed a set of "eyeglasses" for it, to correct the known abberation. Other comments inserted below. JimC

The repair mission to regrind the mirror, of course, cost a wee bit more. The point here is that these incidents were not the result of underfunding, but rather sloppiness.


I agree about that.

I agree that sending people to Mars is a foolish endeavor. Way too costly for limited benefits.

In the long run, it may save Mankind. We need to establish independent colonies on Mars, the Moon, and in the asteroid belt.
