Space telescope's 'golden eye' opens, last major hurdle

This is really great news. If you want to be inspired by space exploration, pay attention to what astronomers are learning through the use of the James Webb Space Telescope, it’s really fascinating stuff. Ignore the egotistical billionaires hitching joy rides on rockets into low Earth orbit, THIS is where people are actually pushing the frontiers of space exploration.

Was a nail biting couple of weeks as this extremely complex craft unfolded as there were so many hundred single points of failure in the process and no way of repairing anything that went wrong.

Now we have to wait for it to cool down and reach its operational point in about 6 months, then we will begin to start receiving data. The potential for ground breaking insights is huge.

In reality this is how we will explore the universe for the foreseeable future. unmanned sensor laden craft can go where it is infeasable, uneconomic and impracticable to send manned missions. We just don’t have the technological capability to do more than low Earth orbit; even the moon is proving a stretch and anything else is pure fantasy land for now.

Progress, a giant leap. YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hope Big Bang theory soon become a fact, thanks to James Webb space telescope
