Default NASA shuns Canon again

I was under the impression that most high-end Canon lenses contain
florite elements, and there is something about either the trip to orbit
or conditions in orbit that makes those fluorite elements less than
ideal.

Something to do with outgassing or thermal expansion or maybe the
launch stresses are too much for the soft glass?
