Scott Manley had a video on you tube about this recently, don't remember which one, but it may have been where he was talking about the computer problem itself.

As I understand it, there is no current vehicle that combines the Space Shuttle's ability to both dock with a satellite (via a docking arm) and allow astronauts to do EVA.
So I guess James Webb is possibly screwed if it has a problem in orbit like the Hubble's mirror issue. Too bad we won't bring back the Space Shuttle.
- rtkwe 5y agoIf Starship actually turns out like Musk has laid out it probably could just given it's size but yeah for now there's no extant vehicle that could service either. I bet we'll also start to see robotic servicing missions proven out which is another possible solution should JWST (or another telescope) need service.
