For NASA's Hubble Successor, Failure Isn't an Option

Lee Feinberg came to NASA in 1991 as a young optical engineer on the first Hubble repair mission. His first task was to hire a company to fix the deformities in the glass telescope, a problem that led to a repair visit by astronauts and a major headache for administrators on the ground.

Can't wait for this launch. Talk about a high stakes game...

No easy rescue mission as it is at the lagrangian point L2 and a $9bn price tag.

I'll be wearing my JWST T-shirt on launch day in 2018 :)
