Let’s just rename it after Robert Byrd.

They will NEVER "move on"... They are winning... Why should they?

There is only one solution...

The young, woke crowd is far more interested in the naming of the telescope, than the unutterable wonders it will reveal.

In mr. Webb’s defense: as a result the agency didn’t have a reveal of secrets by psychologically impaired queer, ala Bradley Manning.

I had not seen that pic before.

All doubt I may have had before is forever flushed.

Webb, “Smaller, Faster, Cheaper.” LOL,

15 years behind schedule and 10 billion over budget. That damn telescope better work!

being able to shove a practice cactus up your ass is by no means a qualifier for a job, outside the p0rn industry.

I heard from a very good source some groups wanted to rename it to, “Large Orifice Space Telescope” (LOST)

Clever. First time I heard that one. Surprised though. It’s almost as it wrote itself.

Talk about wasting time on unimportant subjects, just to appease a perverted minority!

“Science” magazine, published by the leftist AAAS, and “Nature” magazine, published by the globalist Springer group, both have recent articles that say that the telescope shoild be renamed after all!

Here is the Nature article:

https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-02678-1

The astronomers who have been protesting the name “James Webb” say that they intend to make trouble in various ways, in support of the “gay” cabal!!!!

Personally, I would like to be free of the horrible antics of the vile LGBTQs, especially in church! Christians should be free to worship without being horrified by these antics!! Scientists should also be free to pursue their research and teaching without having to bow and scrape to LGBTQs and feminazis!!!!

They could rename it the Christopher Columbus Telescope to avoid any controversy.
