Just deployed the solar array. All systems go!
Bill Nelson has been that way since he was about 35. Still hard to believe he flew a Shuttle mission (as a hitch hiker).
The Webb Telescope will actually orbit a specific completely empty point in space.
That point is apparently somewhat mobile, so Webb's orbit must be continually adjusted during its productive life time.
