    “Suddenly”? Only thirty years after launch. That telescope doesn’t owe us a whole lot; the warranty expired a while ago.

    this is true, but at the same time I like the phrasing, as I feel it’ll help give it a few more years of life, especially for something as simple as this issue is. I remember right after it went up they had to do an emergency flight to it to give it ‘glasses’ because the mirrors inside weren’t focusing properly.
