They have the engineering blueprints. they know where they made the mistakes last time. The Hubble has been a huge success.

Why not build another, or three more? Seems like a no brainer to me.

Technically, and theoretically, the Hubble is merely a CIA-designed spy satellite turned outwards from earth towards the heavens, and run by NASA>

Company's (unstated) goal was to use the Hubble to "buy" the very, very expensive furnaces and vacuum rooms for the Hubble fabrication, then use those rooms for their CIA/NSA spy satellites.

but they screwed up the Hubble's calibration and testing/grinding control setup -> My opinion is that they tried to use "cheaper" non-classified/non-experienced/ workers for the Hubble -> and screwed up the mirror.

Rest of Hubble's problems - fixed with the long mission several years ago - were not specifically due to grinding/testing/test calibration errors, but were un-related screw ups.
