    That’s not really true and has been corrected multiple times. It was a study starting in 2015 and NASA had no direct involvement.

    This should be breaking news - if this telescope operates as advertised the views of the universe we are going to see will be unreal.

    We're not seeing much coverage of this because there isn't much to cover. We can't actually see the JWST get into position and likely even if we could it wouldn't be all that impressive to look at. As for pics from the JWST that is still months away.

    If the news covered it, 1/2 the country would say it doesn’t exist.

    1/4 of 1/2. I won't do the math because I know that is science which is from the devil. Gonna have to trust me on this.
