May have been, but I think the initial trouble with Hubble's first first light pertained to either a bit of pork barrel politics, or to going with the low bidder despite the lack of experience and expertise. :')
Low bid I suspect, although the company that made the mirrors was making them for the DOD, too....don't know how smart they were running their business. And the problem was in how the mirrors were ground. They made a mistake in the calculations.
