Charles Hailey[edit]
- ... that Charles Hailey developed the glass slumping technique on which the optics of the NuSTAR telescope are based?

Article length and age seem fine. I could not find any copyvio or plagiarism and reliable sources are used. I followed the link to slumping and thought he might be mentioned there - or the use of this kind of technique - but couldn't see it and with the link to NuSTAR where there is only the footnoted reference. But I am not sure if this matters. (Msrasnw (talk) 17:14, 9 February 2015 (UTC))
- Hi. Glass slumping is actually a much broader topic than just the telescope - it's also used in pottery and art for example. Hailey has been very involved in developing the use of this technique for NuSTAR's optics and in telescopy in general, but that is a fairly new application of the technique. I can see about adding a section about use in telescopy to the slumping article. Otherwise though, is the article OK? Astro interest (talk) 17:31, 9 February 2015 (UTC)
