NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope is expected to expand the bounds of human knowledge, allowing us to investigate the most distant, and therefore oldest, objects in the universe. So far, all it’s done is cost a lot of money and get delayed. Well, prepare for more of the same. NASA has confirmed that the telescope will not hit its planned October 31st launch. However, the delay might only be a few weeks this time.
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has been in development for more than 20 years, but it took a few years for the plan to take shape. NASA made changes to the design in the early 2000s, which pushed the expected 2007 launch date back to 2009, and then 2010, and then 2011. You can probably see where this is going. It’s 2021 and NASA still isn’t sure exactly when this telescope will launch.
WTF? It would have been better to build another kepler with better camera's and shit. A plus. This james webb thing is a disgrace!!!! We could have had 3 or 4 keplers for the price of this thing.
