I get the Hubbell telescope. But why is this one named the Webb telescope? Is this really the Webb-Hubbell planet-exploration program? Really?

My first thought was, “What, none of these genius engineers ever heard of Loctite?”
Clearly, great minds think alike. :>)

screws and washers” are falling off the spacecraft and sunshield it is building.......................... Errrrrrrr? Maybe if you use American made nuts and bolts there wouldn’t be a problem. I have a damn time using nails and screws that are imported. Our stuff is like hard metal, not marshmallows.

I have some in my garage, and I expect as many as a quarter of us here do. We’re old school.

Who has time? They have to cover the important stuff, like diversity and inclusiveness class, and toxic masculinity class!

I guess that covering adhesives is a bit too old school when you’re building stuff. You know, the last guys that didn’t need adhesives when building were the Romans, and I don’t think that too many of them are left to teach at engineering schools. Everyone since then has used adhesives.
Morons.
