I remember back when the Hubble telescope was utterly destroying the knowledge base of astronomy, there was a joke of an astronomer just finishing a print of the voluminous number of changes to astronomy, based on Hubble discoveries, on a ream of paper, who then checks his computer for *that days* discoveries.

He gives off a sigh, then dumps his printout into an extra large shredder, and starts over.

Hubble, and now Webb, are about that ridiculous.

Perhaps the reaction to the data they present is ridiculous.

I find them to be masterful pieces of engineering, wonderful constructs, revealing wonders never seen by human eyes.
