It took a long time to get this up and flying. Very happy to see they pulled this off successfully (so far). There wont be any shuttle missions to fix things if something gets hosed.

Yup. It’s a million miles from Earth to the L2 Lagrange point. That telescope is pretty much on its own. An amazing piece of intricate technology.

Well... for a while yet. Depends on what else Elon and the gang might have on the drawing board.
