Yet another delay to the deployment of this telescope. Hard for me to shake the cynical idea that this is just a smoke screen to mask the latest round of delays and overruns.[1] Or at least allow everyone involved to put a new less tainted project name on their resume. In my perception I associate ‘James Webb’ with colossal engineering mismanagement more than I do with a dead astronomer.
