Man, this is such an incredible feat of engineering. I’ve been building systems for a long time, but if you gave me the constraints for this one (we’re shooting it into space, flying it a million miles away, and oh by the way the optics need to be perfect when it gets there, and then we’re gonna use it for a couple decades), I’d laugh you out of the room, not because I think you’re wrong, but because my faith in ANY system working that long is nil - and these crazy bastards actually Did it. These are the kinds of things that make me want to remove “engineer” from my job title - there are levels to this stuff, and Webb makes me feel like a kid building sand castles.
