Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By NathanL: How long to make the eyeglasses it will need and get them fitted like before? The reason that was done is because it was intended to be a spy satellite that looked in vs a telescope that looked out. It's a Keyhole Spy sat. That's why it fit in the Space Shuttle bay just right

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By watchwatch: Im not a negative person. And I'm really excited about the possibilities of the telescope. I have zero faith it will work. I know that feel. At least there's plenty of other instruments up there.  NASA's New X-Ray Telescope Is A Revolution in Astronomy and Launch Profiles And for the time being, we still have Hubble. If Webb fails then they are probably going to send up a Dragon capsule to do repairs on Hubble. Once Starship is flying we will probably see a new generation of space telescopes being built. |

To be fair, I’d rather they be ridiculously overcautious with every step on the ground (as it seems they’re doing) to be absolutely certain that it’s going to work once they get it up beyond the moon where they won’t be able to fix anything that doesn’t work. If they have to delay it a few more weeks to be damn certain it’s going to function properly, so be it
