What James Webb will discover?
Not much it only has a five year long life span.
Lifespans mean nothing.
Hubble had a few repair missions to keep it going. Including fixing a catastrophic lense fuck up and fixing ruined solar panels.
If Webb isnt perfect from the get go, there is no going out to fix it
But there's also no concern for orbital day/night cycles, which gives James Webb more ability for continuous observation.
Ariane 5 is plenty reliable.
The problem is THIS youtube.com
a multitude of moving parts. And they all have to move exactly in sequence.
How will that Make American space projects Great Again?
should be fine
only real problem is that you can't exactly test this shit on earth.
correct grammar
