Government is not the solution to our problem—government is the problem.   Ronald Reagan
The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not.   Thomas Jefferson
During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.   George Orwell  The truth is quiet...It's the lies that are loud.   Jesus Revolution
If you ever find yourself in need of a safe space then you're probably going to have to stop calling yourself a social justice warrior. You cannot be a warrior and a pansy at the same time   Mike Adams (RIP Mike)

Redwolf

So far so good.

At least my new toy didn't get blown up by its transport.

"Take a look at that". Sgt. Wilkerson-- CMBN. His last words after spotting a German tank on the other side of a hedgerow.

Destraex

"They only asked the Light Brigade to do it once"

Millipede

Both fore and aft sunshield pallets successfully deployed and locked! The Ariane 5 launch was so precise that considerably less fuel was used for course corrections than expected which means more fuel for station keeping thus extending the science generating life of Webb.

So far, so good!

But will it be able to see the approaching Warp Storm from the Eye of Terror?

It doesn't need to.  The Emperor sees all.

JWST is in orbit at its L2 destination as of yesterday.  Now we have to wait 6? months to get photos...

5 month,

to allaign all mirrors to generate one superimposed single wavefront, calibratiion of the 4 instruments , and futher cool down only by IR-radiation from the parts in the shadow...

NASA has released a stunning new image taken by its James Webb Space Telescope that shows a star fully in focus, surrounded by a dizzying vista of galaxies.

"We have the highest resolution infrared images taken from space ever," said Scott Acton, a wavefront sensing and controls scientist working on the telescope, in a video accompanying the announcement.

The "telescope performed better than the models said it should," Acton added.
