Wasn't it a paint fleck or something that caused all the trouble with the mirror? Apparently this caused the mirror to be cut wrong, and they had to fix the problem by reversing the error in miniature, with a set of three small mirrors. So even leaving it in storage couldn't have done that much to it, it was stuffed from the start.
Where the heck is Australia?
Not only are we a large country, we're a bloody continent as well!
Not happy, the least they could have done was take 3-4 pics.
Oh well. Guess we're not important enough, as usual:(
Is there also a possibility that these "dumb holes" are spewing out sound somewhere else in the universe, or in another universe altogether?
I can imagine that if a "sound hole" opened up on another planet, aliens would get a bit of a shock when from close behind them invisibly comes the sound... "hello? testing, testing. hey cool, its absorbing my voice...".

Maybe they're looking at it upside down? :)
