The telescope will be able to survey the sky about 1000X faster than Hubble with the same or better resolution.

It launched 2 and half hours ago just when the hamsters went to early Mass I guess

Beautiful launch - huge crowds for that time of day - the two boosters that landed back at KSC were ~10 seconds apart - first sonic boom was loudest I have heard from SpaceX - like watching science fiction.

More wasted money

I wondered about that.
The boosters coming back down and landing perfectly never get old to me. shite is absolutely incredible.

there is a lot of government waste, space isn't one of them

Waste is waste, $20 billion a year just for NASA

It might one of the least wasteful things the government spends money on

Hey gramps, some of us will be around a long time and we will need space for the human race, and America specifically to survive.
Any other questions?

I don't have the time nor the crayons to explain all of the societal benefits brought about by research done by NASA over the years. Rest assured you would not have things like water filtration, cordless tools, miniature cameras, etc without their funding.

Meanwhile a day or two ago China's Falcon9 knockoff explodes shortly making it to orbit that left several hundred pieces of debris in orbit that will endanger satellites until they decay

20 billion? That's not even NIL money.

And zero SEC championships.
No seriously we should double that budget. We need more space money to break the tards and cleanse the gene pool. Posted on 8/30/26 at 11:28 am to Pepe Lepew
