The James Webb telescope finally left the planet after $10B and 25 years of development. Whew.
Now we just twiddle our thumbs for 6 months before we get to see the fist images. My thumbs will be worn to the bone by then.
Go Webb!

Re: Go Webb!
The Webb Space Telescope will be able to hie to Kolob in a twinkling of an eye and show us the places where time began to be.
Good faith does not require evidence, but it also does not turn a blind eye to that evidence. Otherwise, it becomes misplaced faith.

Re: Go Webb!
Once it reaches it's final destination nigh unto Kolob, a day for Webb will equal a thousand days for Man. What a brilliant way to extend the warranty.

Re: Go Webb!
Go Webb indeed!
Looks like it's still on track so far in it's complicated unfolding process. They announced today that due to the great launch by the Ariane 5 rocket the Webb telescope should have enough fuel to keep the scope up there and working for significantly longer than 10 years, great news.
