That money could have been better used on more muslim outreach.

These parts gold-covered mirrors, tennis-court-size sun shields, delicate infrared cameras are slowly being put together to become the James Webb Space Telescope. I demand the assembly instructions be written in Arabic. Obama declared NASA's main mission to be Muslim outreach. Assembling this telescope in English is a clear violation of that mandate.

I thought the assembly instructions were very badly translated Chinese.
“Place left part under trough behind screw next to four screws partly in side of box green.”
That’s what it said for my kid’s bicycle.

James Webb Space Telescope if successful, will advance our knowledge of the universe by a series of magnitudes. It's first year of service alone will bring back data that will take decades to study.
This thing will be making big discoveries on a routine basis. Some of which will likely very historic.
It's likely this scope will reach out further to explore than manned missions would ever think of reaching for the next 10,000 years, if ever.

They will need a telescope that powerful to see what is left of our Constitution.

Is this the telescope of the "religion of Piece" ?

Here it is producing Obama's BC ....seen coming out of the slot ....

The last signature seems to be :David a Smidgen
I thought there wasnt a Smidgen of evidence to deny this BC ?
To: PROCON
Check out the graphic. The reflectors are hexagonal. The star of David is equilateral triangles the extreme points of which are the vertices of a hexagon In Islamic art one never sees a hex motif. Instead, Arabic art and architecture are based on the octagon

When launched it will combine with the Hubble telescope to become the Webb Hubble orbital observatory. Chelsea Clinton will be on hand to press the launch button.

The cameras will also probe the atmospheres of planets that revolve around nearby stars, known as exoplanets, for the chemical signatures of life: water, oxygen and maybe even pollution from alien civilizations. And if they're particularly lucky, they may be able to find evidence of global warming and warn those other planets, in say a couple of thousand years.
We can't get a man into space, but we can place a $9 billion dollar telescope up there. We've got a $110 billion dollar boondoggle we can't even get our people to, but by golly, we'll have ourselves a brand new space telescope.
The Texas collider was cancelled. It was ball park to cost us about this much. We couldn't afford it.
I guess discovering particles that could help us understand dynamics here on earth was less important than air-pollution on exoplanets hundreds or tens of thousands of light years away.
Oh yes, we'll be verifying the big bang. My won't they be surprised when they find out there never was one, and the earth is only about 6,000 years old.
Perhaps it will prove the existence of Mohammad and the storage locker where they keep all the virgins on ice.
