Cross your antennae and hope all those crucial unfolding steps go nominally.

Am I the only person who when they read James Webb telescope immediately thought if the Hubble telescope and thus Webb Hubble and Fort Marcy Park which brought it back to HILLARY!
I am currently wearing a t-shirt that had Bill and Hillary dressed as assassins with the caption “The Clinton’s, They Can’t Suicide us All!”

Bill Nelson, NASA Administrator, former Senator from Florida, is almost 80 years old.
He rambled - haltingly - for about 5 minutes and said nothing of consequence.
He is as cognitively impaired as Joe Biden - or worse!

Interesting info on the L2 (Lagrange Point) station where the telescope is headed. L2 is 1M miles from Earth and will take the telescope some 30 days to reach.
Because the telescope operates on infrared signals, it requires extensive shielding from light sources. Operational temperature is -370 F.
