You can't help yourself, can you?

President Donald Trump has given more than he promised to space agency NASA. On Tuesday, March 21, he signed an advisory bill and authorized funding of $19.5 billion to NASA.

The new telescope launches next October. It should provide much better images than Hubble. I think the mirror is 3x larger and it will also be sent into space instead of orbiting the earth which I think provides clearer pictures.

Evidently, the telescope launch is going to be a massive rocket. I think it's the biggest rocket to launch since Apollo. I can't wait. I'm definitely going to drive over the the cape and get a close up view.

If you ever get the chance, go to a launch. It's amazing.

My understanding is it will be IR only? I don't the images will be as good as Hubble
