The James Webb Space Telescope is a colossal waste of money

Initial budget was $500 million, grew to $8.8 billion and is over 10 years behind schedule ($8 billion from the US, you're welcome). So $10 billion essentially for some pictures that won't even look nice.

And they've made the thing so fucking complicated there's about a 0% chance that it's even going to launch and deploy properly. I fucking hope the thing blows up on the launchpad so we never fund horseshit like this again

I'm afraid it'll fuck up and NASA will want more of my shekels for a bunch of science that has no real world applications. Seeing the first light from early galaxies is "cool", but not $10 billion cool. I'd rather that $10 billion get dumped into planetary travel/science.

An African American gentlemen on YouTube told me that satellites don't even reach orbit due to the Earth being flat and having a dome around it. Apparently they always go sideways out to sea. He was quite educated from the totally not forced accent which would indicate he's upper class. I'll take his words as fact.

Sounds like somebody failed science class in high school. Let it go kid, just because you don't understand science doesn't mean other people can't enjoy uncovering and understanding the mysteries of the universe.
Just quietly stick to your bible and your alex jones channel. It's the only thing you can comprehend anyway.

Unless you make a thousand threads complaining about the nigger welfare system, Medicare/Medicade, and Social Security you don't have any grounds to be complaining about the pittance that NASA gets in funding.
Investing in our future as a country is one of the only good things done with our tax dollars.

Fuck you, OP, reverse-shilling your fucking meme-telescope. Your shit fucking sucks, etendue-let. The LSST is better in every way.

Large Synoptic Survey Telescope advantages:
> not over budget
> not a meme design
> actually works
> actually fixable if it doesn't work (not that that'll happen)
> actually leverages recent scientific advances (big data) instead of just leveraging spending power
> actually looks finished, doesn't have random bits sticking out asymetrically

go butt-chug some LN2 and try making a telescope that doesn't look like an ad for tinfoil-wrapped honeycomb

NASA jobs program.

Thankfully SpaceX will "soon" start working on a super heavy rocket launcher. Also we have to hope that Blue Origin will a success and a good contender for SpaceX, once we have real competition stuff is going to happen.

Electromagnetism, not Gravity, is what creates and forms space. Jewish bullshit "theoretical" cosmology is a lie.

The JWST is ~10-15% of NASA's budget when we don't even have a launch system to get astronauts to space (X37 maybe?) - maybe we should work on that first instead of getting taxied up there by Russia

Would this cause the Big Bang Theory to be cancelled and make it illegal for any station to broadcast it?

If so, then 10 billion is a bargain.

Everytime earth has gone through a mass extinction is because another species was conquering the planet and was in the pre stages of space travel.
Life on earth must learn to live with man or die.

The only way for man to truly save the earth is to leave it for the stars.

Once we leave another species will rise in our place; and the cycle will repeat.
