I met a imaging specialist working on cameras for it. Very interesting. I understood little of what he was saying but enough to be impressed.

I’m really interested in the James Webb. Taking way to long. It should go up this fall.

My understanding is that, because the Webb’s orbit will be extraordinarily far from earth, it cannot be repaired once launched; so they’re prudently taking extra time to get it right initially. I heard Halloween as the launch-date.
