Science General Discussion

haha but that would be easy to say in a release,   a whole conference?  lol

i have a feeling that itll be along the lines of looking like all these great things, but much more data is needed and a much better look.

the james webb is still 2 years out isnt?

2 years, but actually might hit that date. They've finished putting on all the mirrors.

do you know if the mirror covers are removed in orbit? or before launch with hopes the fairing protects it?



that thing is a crazy piece of technology, im so glad they're still on schedule

No that was delayed a while ago.

If you ever want to know when FH is launching, just add six months to the current date

itll be interesting to see the papere when it comes out.   another step in the "hey maybe it does work"  direction.   The more stuff like this, the more people would actually start to look at it, and the sooner we will know if its legit or not
