I would feel better about the launch if SpaceX was handling it. I hope it makes it to station without incident.
The French have a pretty good track record.
Same here. NASA has become nothing more than a bloated bureaucracy jobs agency. Their SLS is decades behind schedule like the Webb, they don’t have space suits or a lunar lander ready to go even if they could get the SLS to actually fly. It wouldn’t surprise me to see this telescope go boom on the pad or go flying off into oblivion.
They should have put their money in their space craft and suits and used the heavy launch vehicles in use already for their boosters.
