Remember when the famed Hubble Space Telescope was launched without proper testing and it was found the lens were not aligned right? A shuttle flight was needed to give it corrective lens and mirrors.

Oddly the Hubble had been a scientific bonanza once it was given “corrective lens.” The real hell of it is the taxpayer picked up the price for a contractors error. They ground the mirror to the wrong specs! The contractor should have been bankrupted for the error.
