At least they won’t have to deal with Air mass or wind shake.

What the telescope’s instruments should be able to see has the potential to revolutionize science. Can’t wait.

The Messianic Light/Ohr haGanuz is the revelation of all knowledge. Keyword/concept being "light".

A vast "Webb" (integration) of knowledge you could say.

"As above, so below" -- what difference at this point does it make?

Luke 24

42 And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb.
43 And he took it, and did eat before them.
44 And he said unto them, These are the words* which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.

"Let there be light."

*Webb: This is a primarily English and Scottish last name that was an occupational surname meaning “the webbe”, i.e. “the weaver”, deriving from the Middle English word webbe and Anglo-Saxon or Old English word webba.

I anxiously await the pics and discoveries this magnificent instrument will deliver.

Elon Musk could have probably done it at half the cost and delivered it early and launched it on his own rocket. LOL

Obviously they can take pictures already. So why don’t they show one?

I would like to see it do one shot of the catseye nebula a year.After several years, you could stitch all the shots into a vid and actually watch it expand. In addition to being cool, I think it could actually be useful from an actual scientific standpoint.

I thought James Webb was confirmed to have been some kind of white supremacist and,as a result,it was renamed the Malcom X/Al Sharpton Space Crib.

Remember when the TV stations would play that poem in a film before ending the broadcast for the night?
