>most people don't get their names on space telescopes and we don't think of them as having been erased.

Erasing is when there's something written somewhere, and then it's erased. So if you started with your name on something and ended without your name on something, that'd be an example of erasing your name.

No. The incorrect statement was about erasing people from history books, not from a telescope.
