Angie, fortunately the Hubble mirror problem wasn't taking it outside the atmosphere. I say "fortunately" because just think of the problems for future space telescopes! It was actually a tiny error that occurred when the mirror was polished. NASA's budget didn't stretch to testing the mirror before launch. The backup mirror turned out to be flawless and is now in the National Air and Space Museum in Washington, DC.
