Am I the only one that's floored at what this thing will do, and how they're making it work? Park it a million miles in outer space and it'll see an insane depth into the unknown universe. Just SMH at the capabilities of this thing.

Where Is Webb? NASA/Webb

During Webb's launch, deployment and commissioning, 'WhereIsWebb' tracked Webb's 'flight' to L2 orbit, its state and progress during its deployment and commissioning process, and finally the release of its first images. This process is now complete. During this process, the page constantly...

Well no ****, space is a funny place though and there will always be bumps in the road. Not to mention NASA has a habit of over promising. Doesn’t mean I’m not looking forward to it but also expecting some “we didn’t see that coming” moments.
