    Ever the optimist aren't you!

    OK so it has a light leak but in space that is much less of a problem
    provided you can keep the leak on the dark side of the telescope.

    They should still be able to get enough data to be useful - just not as
    much as they would without that irritating problem.

    The bumbling on multi-million $$$ projects is ridiculous. Especially considering the PEOPLE in-charge are all supposed to be part of the intellectual elite.

    It makes the bumbling we'd see if you were part of the design team
    truly staggering!
