My understanding is the Hubble Space Telescope is broken.

So maybe they can up the launch date of the Webb Space Telescope to sooner than October.

The JWST is not really a replacement for Hubble. Hubble looks in the visible region where JWST will be looking in the infrared.

Hubble was a star and galaxy hunter. JWST will be mostly a planet hunter.
