This is more a question than a post. I have heard that the original flaw of the Hubble Telescope's mirror was by design. The intent was to use the instrument as a spy satellite first and astronomical observation was secondary.
The recent revelations that the latest spy satellites operated by the NRO have a similar design may add some weight to the theory.
Thoughts???

I would prefer the mistake to be intentional. With all those PhDs at NASA, you would hope that they could pull it together for such a big project as the Hubble. I mean... it's not rocket science... oh wait...
I agree Shoffy. If you have additional interest in the subject, do some research on KH-12 satellites......
