>>> Unmanned spacecraft and scopes like James Webb have and will takes us way further.
Oh... so its not an orbital scope like hubble?
That makes sense.
Still a big gamble... just one little rock on an intercept course at even the lowest of average space object velocities means game over.
Not exactly, not in the Hubble sense. Hubble orbits the earth, Webb will orbit the sun, and at a much more distant orbit than HST. This gives JW much better advantages. BTW, taking us further means reaching out optically far beyond HST.
