The telescope that ate astronomy, original launch date 2007, cost 500 mil. Current launch date 2018, cost 8.8 billion. 11 years late, at a little more then 17 times the original estimated cost.

And forget about a repair mission should the very complicate launch/satellite have a problem.

Seems appropriate for something named after a bureaucrat even if an effective one. Worse name of a space scientific instrument evah. They ran out of famous astronomers to name it after?
