Detecting Centaureans


I've spent the whole morning reading the Allen Report, officially titled the Hubble Space Telescope Optical Systems Failure Report, plus just about everything available in the Wikipedia about the Hubble Telescope, past, present, and putative future.  Everywhere in the amazing story of How the Agents of the Imperial Galactic Command Post of Alpha Centauri Hobbled the Hubble Space Telescope are Lacunae--gaps, places where relevant documentation has simply disappeared. NASA's authorization (in fact, stipulation) of backup testing procedures, the accreditation (if it ever existed) of the one work-in-progress testing procedure that was used during the polishing of the main mirror--and much else besides--simply vanished.  Now, to a would-be detective in the Sherlock Holmes tradition, this is exciting stuff.  When things vanish, in a consistent and significant fashion, as has so much of the documentation, work reports, etc., of the grinding of that crucially distorted main mirror, one is able to conclude a couple of very interesting things:  (1) The resulting spherical distortion was deliberate; and (2) those working to produce it were, at many levels, a conspiracy.  From this it needs but a little examination of who had responsibility for what:  And voila' specific persons, and numbers of persons, both at NASA and at Perkin-Elmer suddenly emerge as instrumental--and, certainly, looking over Lew Allen's career (first NSA director ever to testify before Congress) I would think it likely that he is a key member of the Centaurean Conspiracy; perhaps even a Centaurean himself.  But I'm not saying who yet; because I don't know who yet--but already I discern them in outline.
